Gemini Marine 780 Waverider - Leisure

The Gemini 780 Waverider - Leisure is a 7.8-metre RIB designed to blend offshore capability with versatile layout options for relaxed family days, adventure cruising and fast coastal passages. Evolved from the proven WR880 hull, it retains the same deep-V running surface and professional-grade construction, delivering excellent stability, buoyancy and predictable handling in rougher seas while offering a more compact, easy-to-manage platform.

Its vacuum-infused hull and Hypalon tubes are engineered for strength and durability, supported by multiple tube compartments and over-pressure valves for enhanced safety offshore. Highly configurable, the WR780 Leisure can be tailored with different console and seating arrangements to suit everything from cruising and watersports to adventure exploring, all while carrying a substantial crew and gear load in comfort. With generous deck space, self-draining non-slip surfaces and under-deck fuel capacity ideal for extended runs, it offers a capable, confidence-inspiring ride for owners who want performance without sacrificing practicality.
