HR25 to debut in Venice: Halma Rib’s new 8-metre RIB has everything you need

Just a few days to go until the highly anticipated debut of the HR25, the new model from Halma Rib that adds another piece to the brand’s luxury HR range. Following the launch of the HR30—the first model in the line unveiled at the last Boot Düsseldorf—Halma Rib has chosen the Venice Boat Show for the world premiere of its latest creation. The shipyard will be exhibiting for the first time in Venice in collaboration with Marina Porto Antico, Halma Rib’s official dealer for northern Italy.

The 2025 edition of the prestigious international boat show, taking place from May 29 to June 2, will be an important milestone for the company. Founded with the aim of combining performance, design, and build quality, Halma Rib has quickly caught the attention of boating enthusiasts thanks to its artisanal approach and attention to detail. The Venice Boat Show is therefore the perfect stage to boost brand visibility and shine a spotlight on the HR25 in a setting of true excellence. Alongside this new model, the company will also showcase its well-established AL100, a 5.8-metre trailerable RIB known for its reliability and proven performance.

HR25: first look at the new model

The HR25 is a 28-foot RIB that combines modern lines with advanced technical solutions. Designed to offer comfort, safety, and high performance, this RIB is suitable for both recreational and professional use. It’s the smallest model in the HR range, yet in just 8.10 meters it manages to pack in the same comforts as its larger sibling, the HR30. The two RIBs also share a luxurious and elegant design.

“In the Italian market, there are no other RIBs just over 8 meters that offer the same level of comfort as the HR25 – says Filippo Amoroso of Halma Rib. Standard features include an aft dinette with a table and a bathroom within the changing room—everything you need for long day outings.

The HR25 on display in Venice will be equipped with a 300-horsepower Mercury engine. Key features include a high-performance hull for stable navigation even in rough seas, spacious sunbathing areas, and meticulously crafted finishes.

A special offer at the boat show

“We’re thrilled to be taking part in the Venice Boat Show for the first time and to present the HR25 in such a prestigious setting – adds Amoroso – It’s a big step for us toward reaching a wider, more discerning audience and a great opportunity to showcase our unique vision of boating. But we’re not stopping here—we’re already working on the next and largest model in the range, the HR35, which will be ready in January 2026”.

Andrea Barbagelata of Marina Porto Antico, Halma Rib’s dealer for Northern Italy, adds: “We can’t wait to see the public’s reaction. The HR25 is a truly outstanding RIB, with refined finishes and an unbeatable tech setup for a boat of this size. It’s a very compelling package, and we’ve put together an unmissable launch offer: anyone who wants to be the first lucky owner of this model should come to the show and take advantage of the special promotional price, available exclusively during the event

We’re finalizing an agreement with a leading national bank to offer a simplified financing option: no guarantees, no leasing, for amounts up to €75,000”.

The HR25 will be available for onboard visits and one-on-one meetings with the Halma Rib and Marina Porto Antico teams, who will be on hand to share every detail about the new model and the company’s philosophy.
