BWA Nautica builds rigid inflatable boats with open decks intended for sport and day use. The GTO 278 is an 8.5-metre example within LBG's remit, with modular social areas and storage that deserve comparison against other small RIBs.
The 8.5-metre GTO 278
BWA lists the GTO 278 at 8.5 metres overall with a 3.1-metre beam. Its layout combines a console, sunbathing areas and seating, making circulation and equipment storage relevant to a family outing.
Capacity and propulsion
The manufacturer quotes a maximum power rating and passenger capacity for the model. These are model-specific figures, so a buyer should not carry them across to a different BWA hull or configuration.
Look at the complete fit-out
The model sheet sets out standard equipment and optional items such as watersports fittings and electronics. Check the actual build, berth width, engine package and current local specification before making an ownership comparison.
