ZAR 53 Classic

Classic

The ZAR 53 is one of the most iconic models in the ZAR Formenti range, setting the benchmark for premium rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) in the 5-meter class. Designed and handcrafted in Italy, it combines exceptional seaworthiness, intelligent use of space, and luxurious comfort, making it the ideal choice for families, watersports enthusiasts, and adventurous boaters alike.


Despite its compact 5.35-meter (17'7") length, the ZAR 53 comfortably accommodates up to 10 passengers thanks to its revolutionary deck layout. The deep-V hull delivers a remarkably smooth, dry ride with excellent stability and precise handling, even in challenging sea conditions. Every centimeter of the boat has been optimized to maximize comfort, storage, and functionality.


The spacious bow lounge easily converts into a large sunpad, while the ergonomic helm provides excellent visibility and comfortable seating for the captain and companion. Multiple storage compartments, integrated fuel capacity, and optional freshwater systems make the ZAR 53 perfectly suited for full-day excursions or weekend coastal adventures.
