ZODIAC N-Zo 600 DAYBOAT RIB - AN INTRODUCTION

It was first seen at the Paris boat show in early 2012 - but the Zodiac N-Zo 600 is too good a rib to stay too long in France.

The new Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib was launched here in the UK at Pennine Marine in Skipton in August 2012. We were choosen to be the first ever showroom to display the new Zodiac N-Zo 600 outside of France.

This brand new rib design was formally launched in the UK by Zodiac late last year. The Zodiac N-Zo 600 received great reviews from our regular customers, both here and at the September 2012 Southampton Boat Show.

Even standing still, the Zodiac N-Zo 600 is a real head turner of a rib.

The N-Zo 600 displays what we think is an outstanding set of innovative features in a beautifully packaged hull, making it a classic modern rib design.

ZODIAC N-Zo 600 DAYBOAT RIB - A STYLISH LIFESTYLE CHOICE

------A RIB FOR ALL THE FAMILY TO ENJOY -------

There are just two words which sum up the new Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib – “STYLISH” and “SPACIOUS”.

Please remember these two key words when reading the technical description below.

The new Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib has quite obviously been designed - by a renowned Italian naval architect - around "sunny day family outing" boating. The Italian's are well known for their design flair. This good taste is immediately obvious when standing next to - and especially on - the Zodiac N-Zo 600 rib.

The spacious Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib has a large deck area, a great helming position and a very family-friendly seating arrangement.

At a fraction under 6m long, the Zodiac N-Zo 600 rib is a very practical size for a family rib. However the generous beam and clever design of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib means that your first impression upon seeing the Zodiac N-Zo 600 is one of it being a much bigger rib.

When stepping aboard you will immediately realise that there is a lot of space on the Zodiac N-Zo 600's deck. This initial impression of “space and style” is reinforced upon closer inspection.

The Zodiac N-Zo 600’s size, features - especially its high bow and very generous seating area - give it the “prescence and capability” of a much larger and more expensive rib.

The Zodiac N-Zo 600 has all the space and especially the features one would more normally associate with ribs in the 8m to 10m class.

Married to a powerful 115hp or 150hp outboard engine, the Zodiac N-Zo 600 is easily capable of fast,long-distance cruising and exploring.

The N-Zo 600 dayboat rib is eminently suitable for use in the Lake District, the Solent, Devon and Cornwall, or of course absolutely anywhere in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean.

ZODIAC N-Zo 600 RIB – CLEVER DESIGN FEATURES

First impressions of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 are one of space and style.

Your first view - from almost any angle - is one dominated by the sweeping tubes, high raking bow hull and sweeping tubes. The stylish design effortlessly hides a generous beam. The raking bow, sweeping tubes, air-streamed console and white tubes give this rib a streamline, stylish and unique profile.

The Zodiac N-Zo 600 is a small rib. However it has the features one would expect on a much larger and more expensive model of rib. Closer inspection of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 reveals lots of deck space and numerous clever internal design features.

Within just a 6m long rib hull, Zodiac’s designers have squeezed into the N-Zo 600 a large bow sunbed, a stylish tall wind-cheating console, a high twin helm seat, a generous family seating area around a table and even a level access route back out to the rear bathing ladder.

A GUIDED TOUR OF THE ZODIAC N-Zo 600 RIB

The Zodiac N-Zo 600's foredeck is well laid out for luxurious sunbathing. The desigbn of the large sundeck area is just made for sun-worshipping. This foredeck area has been really well designed on the Zodiac N-Zo 600. We think it is a marked improvement over the front deck on its predecessor, the Zodiac N-Zo 760 cabin rib.

This foredeck sunbathing area can be used whilst the Zodiac N-Zo 600 is stationary, or even when this rib is moving at full speed. This main sundeck is recessed down below the main tubes, giving sunbathing passengers a feeling of extra comfort and security. Concealed under the cushions there is a large sealed bow locker at the front of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat, together with the anchor locker.

The tall and streamlined console design is a completely new design, unique to the Zodiac N-Zo 600. This console is extremely ergonomic, with a tall,wrap-around windscreen, grab handrail and a safe standing/perched helming position.

The helmsman and co-pilot on the Zodiac N-Zo 600 rib have a comfortable and well-padded bolster seat, which is located just behind the stylish main console.

The view forward from the Zodiac N-Zo 600's helm is unusual, as the high, raking bow means one is tending to look forward over the bow towards the horizon

Behind the twin helmsmen’s seat is family-friendly bench seating for the rest of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 passengers. This curvaceous seating area at the rear of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 has well-padded seats, good arm rests and proper backrests to all the seats.

This seating area gives passengers a secure and safe feeling, whilst still enjoying the open air feeling of blasting along at speed. The rear seating area forms a lovely "saloon style" seating area for friendly days out on the water.

More detailed inspection reveals three generous storage lockers below the seat cushions, all of which are ideal for watersports equipment storage.

There is also space below the helm seat for the optional accessories of sink, cooker and fridge. The neat picnic table folds out from the rear of the helmsman's bolster seat.

The ample storage on the Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib therefore makes it extremely flexible and therefore very suitable for a wide range of possible watersports uses.

At the stern of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 rib is a cavernous stern locker, which is fully integrated beneath the rear seat. The Zodiac N-Zo 600's locker is ideal for storing watersports toys and wakeboards - just the thing for storing lots of warm-water watersports.

The rear of the new Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib has a well thought out "level access deck walkway". This runs right from the seats back to the stern. This gives an level access to the sea straight from the Zodiac N-Zo 600 rear bench seat area. This allows the passengers to have access straight into the water via the N-Zo 600's aft bathing platform and the foldable rear bathing ladder.

Above the rear bench seat is the N-Zo 600's ski-mast, a "roll bar design" This is an unusual, but very effective, feature. This new design of ski / wakeboard pole is one that gives extra strength and stiffness when compared with the conventional design of a single ski-pole.

The standard deck on the Zodiac N-Zo 600 is moulded non-slip throughout. There is a lovely teak deck option available (at extra cost, but well worth it).

Beneath the stunning new styling features of the Zodiac N-Zo 600's upper deck, the hull and technical features of this new model rib have all been based on Zodiac's well-proven seagoing rib design features.

The hull of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 is a classic deep V-shaped shape for cutting through the water. The N-Zo 600 dayboat handles well enough to be called a proper sea rib. However it's wide beam and sweeping tubes means it is easy to handle in wide open sea areas. The Zodiac N-Zo 600 maintains a good, steady performance and we think it handles well out on the water.

ZODIAC N-Zo 600 DAYBOAT RIB – DIMENSIONS

The overall hull length of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib is 6m, or to be exact, 5.99m.
The overall beam width of the Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat rib is 2.54m.
A 130 litre fuel tank gives the N-Zo 600 an extended range, which should be an ample fuel capacity for day-long UK or Mediterranean cruises.

ZODIAC N-Zo 600 DAYBOAT RIB - OUTBOARD ENGINE POWER OPTIONS

The two recommended outboard engine powering the Zodiac N-Zo 600 rib are either a 115hp outboard engine, or the more powerful 150hp outboard engine.

As the largest Yamaha and Suzuki dealership in Northern England, Pennine Marine can offer you one of these two leading outboard engine brands on the Zodiac N-Zo 600 rib.

However the brand of the outboard engines can be altered to suit your own requirements. As well as Yamaha and Suzuki we offer Honda, Mercury/Mariner or Johnson/Evinrude outboards All these are suitable for the Zodiac N-Zo 600 dayboat.

ZODIAC N-Zo 600 DAYBOAT RIB - THE ROAD TRAILER OPTION

The Zodiac N-Zo 600 rib is small enough and light enough to be used for "everyday" trailer launching and recovery. The N-Zo 600 is therefore more than suitable for extended long-distance towing from the UK to southern Europe. However it would be equally at home on either a marina mooring, or kept in a dry-stack.

Pennine Marine offer as an option the complete “on the road” trailer package.

ZODIAC N-Zo 700 CABIN RIB
ZODIAC N-Zo 700 CABIN RIB - AN INTRODUCTION

The Zodiac N-ZO 700 cabin rib is an innovative design of 7m rib, with a classic rib hull and a high performance outboard engine package. The Zodiac N-Zo 700 is a totally intergrated design, with a both a day/night cabin and a open family-friendly seating arrangement to the rear.

THE ZODIAC N-Zo 700 CABIN RIB - LIFESTYLE

All boaters know that a rib is great for connecting with the wind and waves. However what has been added into the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib design is the ability to add a little luxury to your rib cruising, but without detracting from the maritime passion and performance.

Offering a combination of comfort, good looks and ease of use, the Zodiac N-ZO 700 cabin rib combines the performance and handling characteristics of a normal 7m rib and sucessfully marrys them with the versatility of a cabin boat.

This combination makes the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib a sophisticated and fairly unique proposition in the UK leisure boating market.

As one would expect from an Italian designed rib, the N-Zo 700 rib is at home in the Mediterranean. However the cabin design and V-shaped hull means it is still very competent performing in and around the UK, where the cabin facility really comes into its own.

We at Pennine Marine would recommend the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib as one for use around the shores of the UK, where weekend exploring and sea safaris with the family would add a new dimension to the ribbing experience. Alernatively in the Southern Europe and Meditterranian the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib would be equally at home either as a luxury day rib, or for long ranging expeditions overnighting in remote coves and other far-away places.

ZODIAC N-Zo 700 CABIN RIB - DESIGN

The layout of a Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib allows a group of family and friends to enjoy all the daytime boating activities one would normally participate in when on board a rib. The deck layout has ample storage space for toys and gear below the seats, thus allowing various combinations of watersports activities to take place.

The ergonomic design of the Zodiac N-ZO 700 ribs deck just lends itself to trying to choose between waterskiing, diving, swimming, sunbathing, fishing, exploration and wildlife spotting.

However what really separates and distingishes the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib from the hoi-polloi of other rib manufacturers' models is the ability to make extended rib cruises with a group of family or friends on board.

For daytime rib cruises, at the front of the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib there is a wide five seater cabin. The cabin is tucked in below the bow sundeck, which is perfectly proportioned for catching the sun.

In the centre of the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib is the helm position, with the electronics and instruments tucked in behind a windscreen. The cabin companionway is to the port side of the helm.

At the stern of the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib, the removeable table and ample seating provide a comfortable,but sociable picnic/dining area. This stern area can easily be converted into a second sun deck.
The main deck on the port side is level and extends right to the stern, giving easy access to the sea for swimming, watersking or diving.

The addition of the small optional kitchenette to the Zodiac N-ZO 600 rib (with a sink, and even an optional fridge and stove) allows completely self-sufficient and extended rib cruising.

This on-board dining facility does however have one slight drawback for new Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib owners - it immediately raises the culinary expections of your guests and crew when they first step on board the N-ZO. The passengers instantly believe they will receive a rather more comprehensive menu and dining experience when they are on board the N-Zo 700 rib than they will have experienced before when on board a 7m rib. Pennine Marine therefore advises new Zodiac N-Zo 700 owners to victulate accordingly.

INSIDE THE ZODIAC N-Zo 700 CABIN RIB

Inside the cabin is a small seawater toilet unit (tucked in below the helm console)- this is separated by a door from the main cabin. The onboard facilities are completed by a large freshwater tank.

For overnight rib cruising, the Zodiac N-ZO 700 cabin converts to a two person sleeping cabin. This overnight cabin facility really sets the Zodiac N-ZO 700 above the competition in this class and size of 7m rib.

The combination of a cabin, toilet and kitchette on a 7m rib hull - coupled with capacious fuel tanks - allows the Zodiac N-Zo 700 rib owner to safely and comfortably explore over a far wider range. Exploring with an Zodiac N-Zo 700 is generally a more sophisticated cruising experience than in an open 7m rib.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES ON THE ZODIAC N-Zo 700 CABIN RIB

As one would expect from a flagship boat, the Zodiac N-Zo 700 cabin rib can be customised by Pennine Marine in Skipton to meet the discerning owners expections. There are a wide range of options and accessories available.
