2000 Metalcraft Interceptor RIB – Offshore Boat
Description
2000 Metalcraft Interceptor RIB – Offshore Commercial Boat – NEW TUBES + REFIT $165,000 CAD
Vancouver Island, Canada
This is a serious, go-anywhere 28’ MetalCraft Interceptor, originally built for RCMP service and still very much a commercial-grade workhorse.
If you know RHIBs, think along the lines of a Zodiac Hurricane or Highfield Patrol series, but built heavier, more industrial, and designed for real offshore duty rather than recreational use. It’s the kind of platform you’d see in patrol work, survey support, or commercial marine operations where reliability really matters. It would also make an an incredible go any where adventure platform.
It’s fast, capable, and incredibly solid underway in any conditions
Specs
Length: 28.3 ft
Beam: 9.84 ft
Draft: 1.21 ft
Hull: Aluminum deep-V with commercial ridged foam collar
Engines: Twin Mercury Verado 300 HP
Hours: 1,150 hrs each
Fuel: 900 L – 240 US Gal
Comfortable Cruise Speed: 30 knots – 1.7 Nautical Miles/Gallon
Max WOT Speed: 47 knots
Recent Work
This boat has had some major upgrades:
✔ Brand new rigid-collared tube set $45,000
✔ Hull sandblasted & refinished with fresh anti-fouling paint
$15,000
✔ Interior refresh (including diesel heater) $5,000
✔ Cabin & superstructure repainted $7,000
✔ Major Engine service $20,000
(new lower unit on port and full rebuild on
stbd, all fluids filters, anodes, plugs etc.)
Overall, it takes a solid platform and brings it back to a turnkey, ready-to-work condition.
Onboard Features
Furuno GPS / chartplotter / MFD/ fishfinder
Furuno radar
SmartCraft Vessel View engine data
Standard Horizon VHF
Hydraulic steering
Diesel heater
Enclosed pilothouse with twin helm and navigator seating
Walk-around RHIB layout for safe movement
Large open aft deck (perfect for gear, dive ops, or crew work)
Forward cuddy/storage space
Anchor system with adequate rode
How It Runs
This is where the MetalCraft platform stands out.
It’s a true performance RIB — stable, predictable, and built to stay comfortable in real coastal conditions. The twin Verado 300s give it strong hole shot, efficient cruise, and plenty of reserve power when conditions build.
It’s the kind of boat that is confidence inspiring when you’re behind the helm
Condition
Surveyed Nov 2025 with no structural concerns. Since then, the major cosmetic and wear items have been addressed, significantly improving both appearance and long-term maintenance outlook.
