COMPACT POWER & PRECISION

Rafnar 65

Engineered with the soul of a leader, compact in scale

AT A GLANCE

Compact yet commanding, the Rafnar 65 delivers the stability and confidence of a much larger vessel.
Built around the patented ÖK Hull, it offers a remarkably smooth and steady ride with precise control and exceptional seakeeping in all conditions.
Light, agile, and easy to handle, it is ideal as a superyacht tender, coastal cruiser, or professional utility craft, performing effortlessly beyond its size.

The Rafnar 65 is an 8.5-metre RIB-tender designed for those who demand capability, control and composure in a compact form.

A powerful all-round craft that delivers the same proven stability and handling found across the Rafnar fleet. Developed through close collaboration with maritime professionals and tested in challenging real-world conditions, the 28 combines agility and strength with the balance and smoothness of a much larger boat. Its patented ÖK Hull provides exceptional seakeeping, reducing slamming impact and ensuring total control and comfort at speed or in unpredictable seas.
Ideal as a superyacht tender, coastal cruiser or utility vessel, the Rafnar 28 is compact, fast and remarkably steady. It performs with quiet confidence in every sea state, offering operators and passengers the assurance of safety, precision and effortless control.

Built with the same precision and composite technology that define every Rafnar.

Constructed using advanced vacuum-infused vinylester composites, every joint and surface is bonded for complete structural integrity and long-term durability. The hull feels solid and composed, even in rough conditions, while maintaining a lightweight form for agility and performance.
With twin 300 V8 outboards or optional jet or sterndrive configurations, the 28 reaches speeds above 40 knots and cruises efficiently at 28 knots. Seating for 10 passengers, a 300-litre fuel capacity and the trademark ÖK Hull stability make it the ideal choice for professional use, superyacht service or pure leisure.
