The boat

AB ZEROJET

The AB – ZeroJet AL11 comes from AB, the renowned inflatable brand from Colombia. AB has been in business for over 57 years and was one of the original RIB manufacturers. Now moving with the times, the brand pairs its heritage in rigid inflatable boats with ZeroJet’s electric jet propulsion — a demonstration of how an established builder can transition to clean, high-performance electric power.
