Urteil
A strong Italian RIB concept: lively, stable, and versatile for day use, with the power and hull format to deliver serious performance. Comfort and livability depend heavily on fit-out, so it suits buyers who prioritize open-deck boating over cabin-cruiser amenities.
Vorteile
- +RIB layout gives good stability and a dry ride in chop
- +High-power capability supports brisk acceleration and top-end pace
- +Open deck is practical for social day cruising
- +Brand has a proven offshore-oriented small-boat reputation
Nachteile
- −Comfort is limited compared with cabin boats of similar length
- −Fuel use and noise rise quickly when driven hard
- −Specs appear model-variant dependent, so exact equipment can vary
- −Not ideal if overnighting or enclosed space matters
The Capelli Cantiere 500hp, at about 28 feet, fits the larger-end RIB/day-boat category and is most credible as a high-performance open boat rather than a cabin cruiser. Public Capelli data for comparable Tempest models shows the brand’s usual formula: a fiberglass-hulled RIB with Hypalon tubes, a wide stance, and a layout aimed at carrying guests efficiently.[1][3][9]
On the water, this type of Capelli is typically defined by strong straight-line pace, quick planing, and secure handling thanks to the buoyant tube-supported platform. Similar Capelli models with 500 hp are documented with substantial speed potential, which supports the expectation that this boat will feel fast and responsive when properly powered, though exact numbers depend on engine choice and load.[1][3][18]
Comfort and livability are best described as functional. A 28-foot RIB can offer good seating and deck space for day trips, but it will not match the shelter, storage, or overnight capability of a true cabin yacht. The listed 10-guest capacity suggests it is built for social use, yet passengers should expect an open-air experience with limited privacy and modest protection from weather.[3][18]
Value is strongest for buyers who want a sporty, versatile platform and are willing to trade away interior volume. Compared with smaller Capelli RIBs, this kind of boat offers more presence and performance, but operating costs, equipment level, and overall usefulness will depend heavily on the final engine and trim specification.
