Urteil
The Altamarea Wave 20 is a compact, user-friendly RIB that suits day cruising, family outings and rental use. Its strengths are simple layout, shallow draft and broad capacity for its size, while the 40 hp setup prioritizes easy, economical boating over outright pace.
Vorteile
- +Compact center-console layout is easy to move around.
- +Shallow draft suits coastal, river and canal use.
- +40 hp version is license-free in some markets and economical.
- +High claimed passenger capacity for a 20-footer.
Nachteile
- −40 hp limits top-end performance and heavy-load punch.
- −Open layout offers little protection from sun or spray.
- −Limited overnight livability with no cabins or berths.
- −Comfort depends on optional equipment and seating layout.
The Altamarea Wave 20 is a 5.9 m center-console RIB with a modern, mainstream design and a fiberglass/GRP hull. Public specifications show a shallow 0.5 m draft and CE Category C certification, which makes it suitable for coastal use as well as rivers and canals.
On the water, the 40 hp version is best viewed as an entry-level, easygoing package rather than a performance setup. It should be agile and straightforward to handle, especially at low to moderate speeds, but it will not deliver the acceleration or reserve power of the higher-output versions listed for the model range.
Comfort is typical of a dayboat in this size class: open-deck space, easy circulation and room for groups, but no cabins or overnight amenities. For day trips, rentals and beginner owners, the Wave 20’s balance of simple handling, low running costs and broad usability gives it solid value.
