Wahoo says its RIBs, like the LX600 above, experience little to no cavitation, even in lock-to-lock hard-over turns.

I

was fortunate enough to

get aboard the 361-foot Jubi-

lee at the 2017 Monaco Yacht

Show. She’s Oceanco’s largest

build to date, and believe me, no

compromises were made on that

vessel (the gold-plated headboard

in the master stateroom is a good

example). That’s why it’s telling

that Jubilee claims no fewer than

four Wahoo RIBs in her tender

fl eet. The semicustom, hand-built

British craft are highly respected,

and for good reason. The LX600

(31 feet 5 inches LOA) seats 12 and,

with twin 300 hp Mercury Vera-

dos, can hit 70 knots fl at-out on

its modifi ed racing hull. WHOM

IT’S FOR: Yacht owners looking

for a fast, customizable tender.

PICTURE THIS: You’re aboard a

300-footer moored of St. Barts,

hanging out in the steam room

one beautiful, bluebird-sky

morning and sweating out the

excesses from last night’s pri-

vate Christina Aguilera concert.

Suddenly, you’re itching to get

moving and do something adren-

aline-inducing. Luckily, you know

exactly what to do: It’s time to rev

up the Wahoo. Because when

you’re tearing around the water

at Mach 1, the world is yours.

‘WAHOO!’ IS RIGHT

Wahoo’s RIBs are aboard one of the fi nest mega-yachts in the world, and the LX600 shows why.
