There is a certain thrill to leaving Monaco under real power, and the Sacs Strider 11 is built to deliver it. This is a luxury RIB with genuine pace, twin outboards pushing toward speeds few day boats can match, and a broad, well planned deck that stays comfortable even when the coast is flying past.
Eleven metres of Italian design from Sacs Marine give the Strider its confident stance. Up to ten guests settle into the sunpads and seating, with a cabin below for shade and changing, while one crew member handles the running so the day stays light. Snorkelling equipment is aboard for the stops that punctuate any good Riviera outing.
What the Strider does so well is compress distance. A morning in Monaco, a fast run west toward Saint Tropez, an afternoon anchored off Paloma Beach, all of it feels within easy reach. The boat holds its line beautifully through a turn and settles just as happily at anchor, sunpads out, the sea a step away.
This is the Riviera at its most immediate, sport and style in the same sleek package. It suits those who like a day with some energy to it, quick transfers between beach clubs, a swim wherever the water looks right, then back before the light goes.
Point the bow along the coast and see how much of it fits into a single afternoon.
