Cougar's R8 Sport is the ideal boat for those looking to experience the world of powerboats and in particular, the joys that owning a RIB can offer.

As an entry level boat, the R8 Sport offers unparalleled sophistication and performance without compromising on build quality and sleek looks, making her the ideal choice for a variety of applications from a fun sportsboat through to a practical tender.

Small is indeed beautiful when it comes to the R8 Sport, yet the layout offers ample storage space with plenty of room to manoeuvre once on board. She can comfortably and securely seat up to nine people on twin person sculptured saddle seats, a large rear bench and a forward console seat.

There’s no half-measures when it comes to her handling either with the twin stepped deep V hull offering an exceptional ride both at speed and at a more leisurely pace. With a whole host of optional extras available too, the R8 Sport exceeds expectations and provides endless opportunities for enjoyment.
