Specifications
Blue Spirit 850 YT – Professional RIB with Diesel Inboard and Waterjet Propulsion
The Blue Spirit 850 YT is a professionally built rigid inflatable boat (RIB) measuring 8.50 meters in length, designed and constructed by EO Workboats BV in 2016. This RIB is specifically developed for both commercial and recreational applications and is equipped with a powerful Yanmar diesel engine combined with a Hamilton waterjet. The hull is made of polyester (GRP) with vacuum infusion, contributing to a solid construction and low weight. The boat features a V-bottom, ensuring good sailing characteristics, even at higher speeds and in rougher conditions.
Dimensions and Construction
The Blue Spirit 850 YT has a length of 8.50 meters, a width of 2.95 meters, and a draft of approximately 1.00 meter. The clearance height is 2.00 meters, making the boat suitable for various waterways, including inland and coastal areas. The interior headroom is also 2.00 meters. The hull is equipped with a Flexiteek deck and a self-draining system, simplifying maintenance. The tubes are made of Hypalon Neoprene (1670 DTX) and are detachable. The diameter of the tubes is 50 cm, contributing to the stability and buoyancy of the boat.
Engine and Performance
The RIB is equipped with a Yanmar diesel engine of 440 HP, coupled with a Hamilton 274 waterjet. This combination provides a cruising speed of approximately 50 km/h and a top speed of about 70 km/h (approximately 40 knots). The engine has around 400 operating hours and is operational. The fuel tank has a capacity of 250 liters, allowing for a range of about 200 nautical miles, depending on sailing conditions and load.
Steering and Propulsion
Steering is done via a steering wheel on the external console. The hydraulic steering is from the brand SeaStar. The boat is equipped with a jet bow thruster, facilitating maneuvering in harbors and narrow waters. The combination of the V-hull and the waterjet ensures the boat quickly planes and can make sharp turns, enhancing maneuverability and sailing pleasure.
Navigation and Electronics
The Blue Spirit 850 YT is equipped with an extensive Raymarine navigation package, including GPS, chart plotter, radar, AIS, log/speedometer, and a compass. Additionally, there is a VHF radio for communication. The boat has a 12V and 220V electrical system, with shore power connection, battery charger, alternator, inverter, and a voltmeter. There are two batteries on board with a total capacity of 200 Ah.
Equipment and Comfort
On deck, the boat features an adjustable T-top with integrated navigation lights, antenna, and radar. The T-top is height adjustable, which is convenient for transport or low bridges. The boat has a hydraulically operated bow door, facilitating boarding. Furthermore, there is a swim platform with a swim ladder, as well as a bimini, outdoor deck covers, fenders, lines, and an anchor with chain and line. The steering console is made of aluminum and accommodates two crew members on a leaning post. In total, there are seats for six people.
Safety and Extras
The engine room is equipped with a FirePro fire suppression system. Additionally, there are various safety items on board, including a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, oars, and a boat cover. The boat is equipped with four lifting eyes, simplifying transport and storage.
Usage and Background
The Blue Spirit 850 YT has been used as a demonstration and loan boat by the shipyard itself and has always been under professional management. The boat has been used on both inland waters and at sea. The last time the boat was taken out of the water for maintenance was in 2025.
Documentation and Registration
The original manual and CE certificate are included with the boat. It is a VAT boat, which is mentioned on the bid and invoice. The construction number of this specific unit is NLEOW85005C712.
Conclusion
The Blue Spirit 850 YT is a versatile and robust RIB, suitable for a wide range of applications such as pleasure boating, transport, inspection, or support at events. Thanks to the powerful diesel engine, waterjet propulsion, and extensive equipment, this boat is deployable in various waterways and conditions. The combination of speed, maneuverability, and practical features makes this model attractive to both private and professional users.
