2026 Ranger Tugs R-43 CB

2026 Ranger Tugs R-43 CB

The Ranger Tugs R-43 CB (Command Bridge) takes the exceptional R-43 platform to the next level with a massive 205-square-foot command bridge featuring wraparound seating for eight, a Fusion stereo, refrigerator, electric grill, sink, and dedicated food prep area — all accessed via staircase with handrail. Twin Volvo IPS450 POD drives with joystick docking offer confident handling at any dock or in open water. The salon seats 12, two private staterooms each have en suite heads, and a full-size washer and dryer mean you can truly live aboard. The 22" Garmin navigation suite with Fantom 24x radar, AIS, autopilot, and joystick controls at the helm, cockpit, and bridge put everything at your fingertips. Optional gyroscope stabilization, Dynamic Positioning, and Sionyx thermal camera add even more capability.

Bay Port Yachting Centre in Midland is Ontario's exclusive Ranger Tugs dealer.

The R-43 is built for cruising that becomes a way of life. From Bay Port's docks in Midland, Georgian Bay's 30,000 Islands spread out in every direction. Follow the Small Craft Route north through Parry Sound, Pointe au Baril, and Britt to Killarney, or push west into the North Channel of Lake Huron — widely regarded as world-class cruising territory. Head east on the Trent-Severn through the Kawarthas to the Thousand Islands and the St. Lawrence, or cruise Lake Ontario's north shore from the Bay of Quinte and Prince Edward County west to Toronto and through the Welland Canal to Lake Erie and beyond. For those ready to go the distance, the Great American Loop — 6,000 miles of eastern North America's finest waterways — is the trip of a lifetime, and the R-43 is one of the finest platforms to do it on. Twin Volvo IPS drives, 300 gallons of fuel, three climate zones, a full-size washer and dryer, and two private en suite staterooms mean you cruise without compromise, wherever the water takes you.
