AquaSpirit UK is launching the new AquaSpirit 370 to the UK market at the 2026 Southampton International Boat Show.
This new 3.7 metre aluminium RIB combines a four-seat sports layout, integrated ski pole and generous bathing platforms with AquaSpirit’s space-saving D-Tube design. It’s compact design combines the practicality of a yacht tender with the versatility and performance of a small sports boat. To celebrate this launch, a special presentation will be hosted on AquaSpirit’s berth on the 18th September, where interested customers, industry partners and media guests can learn more.
At just 3.7 metres in length, the 370 offers an impressive amount of usable space within a compact and lightweight aluminium hull. Central to the design is AquaSpirit’s distinctive D-Tube configuration. Unlike the conventional round tubes fitted to most RIBs, the D-shaped design creates additional internal beam and frees up valuable cockpit space without increasing the boat’s overall dimensions. This additional space has allowed AquaSpirit to give the 370 a four-seat sports layout, integrated ski pole and substantial aft bathing platforms – features more commonly found on larger RIBs.
For yacht owners, the 370 offers a compact sports tender with proper seating and useful deck space. Its compact dimensions, aluminium construction and straightforward trailer launching also make it an attractive standalone family runabout for water sports, harbour use and exploring the coast. Despite its compact size, the AquaSpirit 370 incorporates the same attention to detail and quality of finish found throughout the larger AquaSpirit range.
Key features include:
• AquaSpirit D-Tube design for increased internal space
• Four-seat sports layout
• Integrated ski pole
• Generous aft bathing platforms
• Aluminium hull construction
• Aluminium fixtures and fittings
• Powder coated aluminium cleats and finishing details
• Pop up navigation lights
• AquaSpirit slide on tube technology
• Choice of PVC or Hypalon tubes
The AquaSpirit 370 can be paired with a choice of Suzuki outboards, from 20hp to 40hp for typical applications, or up to 60hp (the maximum power rating for the hull) for activities requiring greater performance. This allows owners to specify the boat according to how they intend to use it, from economical tender duties through to a more powerful setup for water sports and coastal exploring.
The aluminium hull also helps to keep weight down, an important consideration for yacht owners when launching, recovering, lifting and storing a tender onboard.
Rob Cross of AquaSpirit UK said: “The 370 is a very clever little boat. The D-Tube design gives us a real advantage because it creates much more usable space inside the boat than you would normally expect from a 3.7 metre RIB. Having four proper seats, a ski pole and substantial bathing platforms on a boat of this size is unusual. It means the 370 can genuinely work as a small sports boat rather than simply being a basic tender. For somebody looking for a capable tender for the back of a yacht, or a boat that can easily be kept on a trailer and launched for a day exploring the coast, we think the 370 offers a really interesting alternative.”
The first UK AquaSpirit 370 will be on display at the show, with show specification boats expected to retail at approximately £25,000, depending on engine choice and final specification.
