The FYG 28 RIB combines hydrofoil-assisted efficiency with RIB toughness, resulting in a vessel designed for rapid-response performance, yacht tender utility, tourism platforms, or commercial transport. 

With a length of 29 feet and a beam of 9 ft 4 in, the hull is composite and designed to handle demanding water conditions while offering lightweight agility. Its design uses a hybrid hull with hydrofoils and an inflatable collar to reduce drag, enhance stability, and increase ride comfort over chop. 

Powering this boat is Photon Marine’s electric propulsion system—sleek, silent, and zero-emission. The FYG 28’/29’ RIB lists a top speed of 40 knots and an estimated range of 40 nautical miles in its base configuration. 

Built for operators who demand capability and responsiveness, the FYG RIB offers professional-grade performance in a refined package. Whether it’s for a patrol mission, exploring remote shorelines, or providing fast tender service from a yacht, its foiling and electric systems deliver a high-efficiency experience with reduced vibration, noise and operating cost compared to conventionally powered craft.

With its rugged hull, modern electric drive, and efficient design, the FYG 28’/29’ RIB is an excellent choice for those who want speed, stability, and sustainability in one high-performance vessel.
