Quicksilver 420 Alu RIB Inflatable Boat – Aluminum Hull (PVC, 4.2m)

The Quicksilver 420 Alu RIB is the top model in Quicksilver’s range of aluminum-hull inflatables, delivering maximum space, power, and safety. With an impressive length of 4.2 m and a 1.69 m beam, this boat offers a spacious deck more than sufficient for 8 passengers or a large amount of cargo (up to 1100 kg payload). The construction is designed with professional-grade use in mind – the 0.9mm PVC tubes have an enlarged diameter for extra stability and buoyancy, and the aluminum hull is reinforced at critical points to withstand high-speed pounding or rougher seas.

One of the standout features of the Quicksilver 420 is its tube system divided into 4 independent air chambers. This configuration greatly enhances safety – even in the unlikely event of a puncture to one chamber, the remaining chambers keep the boat afloat and stable. The hull is also fitted with an extra-thick keel protection strip along its length, guarding against abrasion when trailering or beaching on rocky shores. The bow section of the boat is larger and more robust, built as a locker with a hatch – it can store an anchor, lines, a fuel tank, and other gear, keeping them secure from spray and sunlight.

Thanks to its size, the Quicksilver 420 Alu RIB allows for the installation of additional equipment such as a double bench seat, a steering console with wheel and remote controls, navigation lights, and more. In this way, the boat can be transformed into a small patrol craft or tour boat suitable for sightseeing cruises or recreational water sports. Outfitted with the maximum engine (40 HP), the 420 RIB achieves impressive speed and can confidently cut through waves, maintaining stability due to the deep aluminum keel. Even at higher speeds, the double-floor construction and balanced weight (~115 kg) ensure a smooth and controlled ride.

The Quicksilver 420 comes fully outfitted for immediate use: aluminum paddle-style oars (given the size of this model, the oars function as large paddles), a high-capacity foot pump, a repair kit, and a standard bench seat. Unlike the smaller models, the 420 does not include a fixed bench – the owner has the freedom to outfit the deck with their preferred seating or leave it open depending on the intended use. This boat is undoubtedly aimed at serious enthusiasts and professionals who demand reliability, space, and performance.

• Group travel & touring: The Quicksilver 420 lets large groups (up to 8 people) ride together – perfect for guided island tours, group picnics on remote beaches, or carrying camping gear for everyone on an expedition
