Scanner Days 2026: Three Maxi-RIBs to Try Out at Marina di Varazze

From September 25 to 27, the port of Marina di Varazze, in Liguria, will host Scanner Days 2026. This is the annual event organized by Scanner Marine to present its latest innovations and allow clients, owners, and boating enthusiasts to get an up-close look at the shipyard’s vessels. Above all, the event will be an opportunity to step on board and conduct sea trials for some of the most representative models in the Scanner range. Indeed, three Maxi-Ribs from the Envy family will be present in Varazze: Scanner Envy 1500, Envy 1200, and Envy 1100, featured with three different outboard engine configurations.

The Scanner staff will be available throughout the event to illustrate the features, options, and design solutions of the entire range, guiding guests through onboard tours and sea trials.

Scanner Envy 1500, a 1,200-Horsepower Boat

The key model on display at Scanner Days will be the Scanner Envy 1500 in its outboard version, the flagship of the shipyard’s Maxi-Rib range. With an overall length of 15.20 meters and a maximum beam of 4.40 meters, the project takes the Rib concept to a dimension that, in terms of volume and livability, approaches that of large motor yachts.

The configuration selected for the event features two Mercury V12 600 engines, delivering a total output of 1,200 horsepower. However, the design is pre-engineered to accommodate up to 2,400 horsepower, thereby offering a very generous margin in selecting the boat’s layout and setup. This flexibility allows the Envy 1500 to be interpreted both as a Maxi-Rib dedicated to long days and stays on board, and as a high-performance platform.

One of the defining elements of the Envy 1500 is the walkaround deck configuration. The two wide side passageways make it easy to move toward the stern and reach the large beach club, creating seamless continuity between the various outdoor areas. The bow section also contributes to the model’s residential focus: the accommodations below deck offer substantial volume and headroom, with a spatial concept that directly aligns with the world of large yachts. The capacity to host up to 18 people completes the picture of a vessel designed to combine performance, comfort, and versatility.

Envy 1200: 900 Horsepower for a Sporty Maxi-Rib

The second highlights of Scanner Days 2026 will be the Scanner Envy 1200, a 12-meter Maxi-Rib that focuses on an unbeatable balance between a sporty layout and onboard livability. In Varazze, the model will be equipped with two Yamaha XTO 450 engines, for a total output of 900 horsepower. In this case as well, the design leaves room for more extreme configurations, with a maximum planned power of up to 1,800 horsepower.

The outboard version highlights the sporty character of the Envy 1200, without turning it into a purely performance-oriented vessel. In fact, the design maintains an elegant profile, featuring a prominent T-top and a harmonious continuity between exterior colors and interior spaces.

Below deck, the Envy 1200 offers a layout conceived for spending extended time on board. The arrangement includes a large bow cabin, bright spaces, and a hallway with a separate head. The result is a Maxi-Rib equally suitable for fast cruising or for spending full days at sea. With a length of 12 meters and a width of 3.80 meters, the Envy 1200 is CE category B certified and can carry up to 18 people.

Scanner Envy 1100: 700 Horsepower in 11 Meters

Completing the fleet on display at Marina di Varazze will be the Scanner Envy 1100, the most compact of the three Maxi-Ribs present at Scanner Days. The model will be equipped with two 350 horsepower Honda Marine outboards, generating a total of 700 horsepower. The configuration can go up to 750 horsepower, maintaining a particularly significant size-to-power ratio.

The Envy 1100 adopts a more aggressive styling, evident above all in the sporty T-top protecting the center console. Despite its more compact dimensions, the layout was designed to maintain a high level of comfort: the deck features two sunbathing areas, while below deck there is a space with a bed and toilet. This solution expands the model’s versatility, making it suitable not only for sporty outings but also for longer days on the water.

Measuring 11 meters in length and 3.60 meters in width, the Envy 1100 also maintains a capacity of 18 people. Compared to the two larger models, it offers more accessible dimensions while retaining a strong sporty stance and versatile nature.

Scanner Days 2026, Three Interpretations of the Scanner Philosophy

The simultaneous presence of the Envy 1500, Envy 1200, and Envy 1100 makes Scanner Days 2026 a comprehensive showcase of the shipyard’s design philosophy. The three Maxi-Ribs share a precise focus on performance and design, yet each interprets the concept uniquely:

• The Envy 1500 brings the formula toward the world of large yachts, measuring 15.20 meters, featuring 1,200 horsepower in the configuration selected for Varazze, and offering the capability to reach 2,400.
• The Envy 1200 occupies an intermediate dimension, with 900 horsepower provided by two Yamaha XTO 450 engines and a distinctly sporty design, balanced by below-deck living spaces intended for extended stays on board.
• Finally, the Envy 1100 packs an even more aggressive setup into 11 meters, relying on two 350 horsepower Honda Marine engines and a layout that preserves a strong focus on comfort.

Conclusions

Scanner Days 2026, scheduled from September 25 to 27, represents an opportunity to closely observe three distinct expressions of the Envy range and, above all, to test their characteristics directly on the water. The event format emphasizes direct interaction between the shipyard, clients, and enthusiasts: beyond onboard visits, sea trials will allow participants to experience the handling of the Maxi-Ribs and appreciate the nuances between the different configurations.
