Description
Hand-built by Scorpion RIBs in Lymington – now proudly part of Twisted Marine – the Serket 88 is widely regarded as one of the finest British-built leisure RIBs. Combining meticulous craftsmanship, offshore performance, and understated British style, the 88 remains the benchmark for luxury performance RIBs.
This particular example, SEALION, has been dry-stacked from new, never anti-fouled, and shows just circa 170 hours on its Mercury Verado 300hp V8. Offering the presence and space of a larger offshore boat while remaining easy to handle, SEALION represents a true turn-key package.
On deck, she’s equipped for both family cruising and practical day-to-day boating. A removable over-tube swim ladder provides easy water access, while the bow cushion converts the forward area into a generous sun-pad. The teak cockpit table stows neatly beneath the helm when not in use, and LED deck lighting is perfect for evenings afloat. At the helm, a Raymarine Axiom Pro navigation suite and JL Audio stereo deliver intuitive control and immersive sound.
