A difficult legacy to pick up for the Zodiac Open 5.5, Zodiac’s versatile new inflatable hard-keeled dinghy . He has the daunting task of succeeding the Pro Open 550, a model with thousands sold worldwide. But it seems that the new boat, dubbed “the SUV of the sea” because of its versatility, is adaptable to all leisure activities: family cruises, fishing trips, diving with friends, tow sports such as wakeboarding…
A younger brother of the Open 7, this new inflatable boat is modern, sporty and has excellent performance at sea. Updating what is the absolute benchmark in the inflatable semi-rigid sector with the new Open 5.5, Zodiac has raised the bar for this “Swiss Army knife” boat by marking its grand comeback.
The new rigid-keel inflatable from the Open range is 5.4 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. It can carry up to 12 passengers and can be equipped with an engine up to 130Hp. Its strengths are modularity that allows for multiple activities on board, storage capacity, a bold and modern design, and a new “V-shaped” rigid keel for maximum comfort when sailing. www.zodiac-nautic.com
