2002 Nautica RIB 10 Jet

This compact jet RIB is all about freedom to explore skinny water and tight marina corners without worrying about a prop. The 10-foot footprint makes it easy to tuck onto a swim platform, davits, or a modest driveway, yet there’s still room for a couple of friends and a load of gear. Flat, grippy deck space and low gunwales simplify boarding from a dock or mothership. The jet drive gives you confident, fingertip control around crowded fairways and swim zones, and it’s a blast to carve turns when the water opens up. Simple, rugged construction keeps ownership easy, whether you’re using it as a primary runabout or a no-nonsense tender.

In this boating area, sheltered coves, no‑wake zones, and busy marinas reward a nimble, low‑draft package like the Nautica RIB 10 Jet. The jet propulsion lets you nose up to beaches, rocky shorelines, and shallow ramps that deeper‑draft tenders avoid, expanding your choice of launch spots and lunch stops. Its compact size makes storage straightforward in tighter driveways, garages, or rack spaces, and trailering is stress‑free on congested roads. With enough punch to run guests, groceries, or dive gear back and forth from a mooring field, it serves as an ideal link between shore and larger vessels in this active, mixed‑use boating community.
