Joker Boat

Italian RIBs that have evolved from dinghies into cabin cruisers.

Joker Boat was founded in 1979 by Giuseppe Aiello and is based in Cologno Monzese, near Milan. The yard began by producing small, entirely hand-built inflatable boats and grew rapidly in the 1980s with the Profi series. Since then, the brand has been known for RIBs designed to be full-fledged boats rather than just tenders.

The breakthrough came with the Clubman, the first Joker model over six metres in length and, to this day, the centrepiece of the range. In addition, the yard produces the Coaster and Barracuda ranges, with hulls ranging from just over five to just over ten metres. Joker Boat builds to order, with the layout, trim and engine configuration tailored to each individual boat.
