1060 Waverider - Leisure

The Gemini 1060 Waverider – Leisure is the flagship of the Waverider series, created as a high-performance RIB for demanding offshore conditions and premium recreational use. As the largest model in the range, it combines rugged construction with a refined leisure-focused layout, delivering speed, stability and comfort for coastal cruising, adventure boating and entertaining on the water.

Nicknamed “The Beast”, the WR1060 features a proven deep-V hull designed to slice through rough seas while maintaining exceptional sea-keeping and directional stability. The vacuum-infused hull and deck deliver strength with controlled weight, supporting high speeds and heavy-duty operation. With a long waterline length and generous external beam, the boat offers a planted, confident ride in challenging conditions.

The expansive deck area provides outstanding flexibility for leisure configurations, allowing owners to tailor seating, storage and equipment layouts to their style of boating. High-capacity Hypalon tubes with multiple compartments enhance buoyancy and security, while a self-draining, non-slip deck ensures safe movement at sea. The WR1060’s robust structure and high payload capacity make it well suited to extended days afloat with friends and family, water sports and long-range coastal runs.

Under the deck, twin integrated fuel compartments house substantial fuel capacity, supporting extended cruising range and offshore exploration. Careful attention to practical details—such as protected cabling routes, heavy-duty towing and mooring points, and durable keel and bow protection—reinforces the boat’s commercial-grade heritage while serving the needs of serious leisure boaters.
