2024 BRIG Eagle 8 – Suzuki DF350A | 160 Hours | Award-Winning Luxury RIB

REMARKS

Few boats command attention quite like the BRIG Eagle 8 — and this 2024 example, powered by Suzuki's flagship DF350A dual-prop V6 outboard, represents one of the finest pre-owned RIBs currently on the market. Showing just 160 hours from new and presented in exceptional condition throughout, this is a genuine opportunity to acquire a nearly-new, award-winning luxury performance RIB at a significant saving over a new factory build.

The Eagle 8 is BRIG's flagship luxury family cruiser, combining a sleek, iconic profile with bold, purposeful styling that stands out in any marina. Crowned Best Sportsboat & RIB of the Year by Motorboat & Yachting Magazine, the Eagle 8 sets the benchmark for what a performance RIB should be. Measuring 7.98 metres (just over 26ft) in length with a beam of 2.90 metres, this is a genuinely spacious and capable offshore vessel with a CE Category B offshore rating — equally at home as a day cruiser, family fun boat, watersports platform, coastal explorer, or high-end superyacht tender.

The combination of BRIG's proven deep-V hull and Suzuki's DF350A dual-prop outboard is one of the most accomplished pairings available in the 8-metre RIB class. Counter-rotating props eliminate torque steer entirely, providing arrow-straight acceleration and exceptional tracking at all speeds. The extended waterline and wide-beam hull inspire real confidence offshore, absorbing chop and swell with composure that smaller or lesser-built RIBs simply cannot match. Expect cruising speeds of 30–35 knots and top-end performance in excess of 50 knots depending on load and conditions.

With just 160 hours recorded, this engine has barely been run in — the vast majority of its working life still ahead of it. Boats of this specification and hour count rarely come to market. Early inspection is strongly recommended.

MECHANICAL & RIGGING

Power comes from Suzuki's prestigious DF350A — a 350hp dual-counter-rotating-prop V6 outboard featuring fly-by-wire electronic throttle and shift. Widely regarded as one of the most refined outboards available, it combines blistering performance with exceptional smoothness, low vibration, and impressive fuel efficiency for its class. The Suzuki SMG4 digital engine management display provides real-time performance data at the helm, and the fly-by-wire system ensures seamless, frictionless throttle response at all times.

The hull is a reinforced deep-V GRP fibreglass construction with an extended waterline, extra-wide tubes, and a distinctive square bow — all engineered to deliver a soft, stable, and dry ride in all sea states. Five independent air chambers within the 0.58m-diameter Hypalon tubes provide exceptional buoyancy and built-in safety redundancy. Hypalon is the premium tube material of choice, offering superior UV resistance, durability, and longevity over PVC alternatives. Hydraulic steering delivers precise, confidence-inspiring helm feel at all speeds.

ACCOMMODATION

The Eagle 8's layout has been designed with sociability and comfort at its core, offering an outstanding level of space and versatility for a vessel of this size.

The large aft cockpit provides equally impressive social space, with premium upholstered seating throughout in a durable, weather-resistant finish.

Seating is provided for up to 10 passengers across the bow and aft cockpit. Large under-seat lockers throughout offer generous and well-organised storage for fenders, lines, safety gear, watersports equipment, and personal belongings. The synthetic teak-style decking adds a premium aesthetic underfoot while remaining cool, non-slip, and easy to maintain season after season.

Boarding is made effortless via the integrated swim platform and folding stainless steel ladder — an essential detail for families and those deploying the boat as a yacht tender. The fresh water shower and washdown system is ideal for rinsing off after swimming or watersports.
