This 2019 Ribjet Lightwave is a premium 12’6” carbon-fiber performance tender that bridges the gap between a traditional yacht tender and a true sport boat. Designed for owners who want more than basic dock transport, the Lightwave delivers exceptional rigidity, low weight, and engaging performance in a compact, highly refined package.

The laminated carbon-fiber hull was built in Europe by Abel Yachts, with final assembly completed by Ribjet USA for the North American market. Finished in metallic silver with a black foam collar, this tender presents a clean, modern profile well suited to high-end yachts and waterfront properties alike.

Powered by a Weber MPE 850 gasoline engine producing 120 hp, the Lightwave offers quick acceleration, confident handling, and an impressively smooth ride for its size. With an approximate weight of 970 lbs, it is well suited for swim platforms, davits, and yacht garages while remaining capable of spirited standalone use.
