Scorpion Sting/Cruiser

"Alba" 

“JUST REDUCED”

Beneath the striking looks and stylish interior beats the heart of a true thoroughbred. The Sting cabin has more long distance race and endurance wins to its name than any other boat. With this pedigree is it any wonder that the twin diesel engined cabin is widely regarded as the best RIB in the world. 

"Alba" is one of those rare boats that seldom come up for sale, a well maintained and loved Scorpion Cabin RIB. No expense has been spared to create a beautiful example. Please check out the description for the full list of works undertaken.
