2025 Zodiac Nomad 3.6 RIB Alu

Zodiac Nomad 3.6 Aluminum RIB - Versatile Tender & Compact Explorer for the Pacific Northwest & Alaska

The Zodiac Nomad 3.6 is a capable 11'10" aluminum-hull Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) designed for boaters who want the durability and performance of a rigid hull while maintaining the portability of a compact inflatable. Built with a marine-grade aluminum hull and inflatable tubes available in PVC or Hypalon/NEO, the Nomad 3.6 is well suited for the challenging conditions found throughout the Pacific Northwest and coastal Alaska.

With more interior space and higher horsepower capability than smaller models, the Nomad 3.6 works well as both a premium yacht tender and a capable stand-alone utility boat.
