The Tempest 40, from the Italian shipyard Capelli, belongs to the large luxury RIB segment and is part of the Cantieri’s Luxury Line range. This is undoubtedly one of the benchmark models, distinguished by its design, spaciousness, and handling. This particular boat is very well maintained, with protective covers for the entire deck and tubes. It has very few operating hours and is equipped with two 350 hp Suzuki engines with twin counter-rotating propellers, which enhances its performance. These are state-of-the-art, four-stroke, V6 engines with electronic fuel injection, providing low emissions and noise levels, as well as low fuel consumption. The V-shaped hull is remarkable, with three pronounced longitudinal bulges per side. In addition to the extra lift provided by the tubes, this design ensures a very comfortable ride at all engine speeds while offering excellent performance, with agile and sporty handling. Its cruising speed can reach around 27 knots at 4,000 rpm. The maximum speed exceeds 40 knots with a fuel consumption of approximately 220 liters per hour. The 650-liter fuel tank provides a range of about 115 nautical miles at maximum speed.
The Tempest 40’s deck layout is typical of this type of boat, but with an enormous cockpit that greatly expands its possibilities. Its certification allows it to accommodate up to 18 passengers. The bar unit includes a 65-liter refrigerator under a lid, a sink, and a work surface. The interior is understated and comfortable, with a sofa that converts into a double bed in the bow, a side cabinet, a separate head, and ample storage space. A functional, sporty, and elegant vessel, ideal for day cruising, it offers good living space and excellent performance, even for multi-day voyages.
