Gemini WR880 – Built for the Bull Rock RIB Run

Built for Adventure, Ready for Anything

The Gemini WR880 built for the Bull Rock RIB Run is a boat that doesn’t flinch. This isn’t just a high-spec RIB — it’s a machine built to go the distance, even when that distance is 90 nautical miles of raw Atlantic swell. Designed specifically for one of Ireland’s most iconic offshore events, this WR880 was made for crews who take on remote coastlines, big weather, and the kind of adventures that demand more than just horsepower.

Gemini has over four decades of experience building commercial-grade hulls for some of the toughest users in the world. That expertise shows in every inch of this boat. From the deep V hull that slices through chop, to the Yamaha twin 300hp outboards that launch it offshore with ease, this WR880 blends relentless performance with smart, adventure-ready design.

Performance Meets Purpose

The Bull Rock RIB Run isn’t a casual day on the water. It’s 90 nautical miles of exposed Atlantic. The Gemini WR880 is built for that challenge. Powered by twin Yamaha F300NSB outboards, this boat is fast, efficient, and built to take a beating. The hull is finished in Signal Grey GRP, paired with black Hypalon tubes trimmed in red — a nod to its aggressive capability and confident style.

But this boat isn’t just about getting there fast. The Scot S2J shock-mitigation jockey seats keep the ride comfortable, while Evo Elite Teak decking adds a practical yet premium finish underfoot. The composite T-top keeps sun and spray at bay, and a full Garmin nav suite helps you stay locked on course, even in less-than-ideal conditions.

Built for the Elements

Every element of this WR880 is tailored for open water operation. The T-top is made from grey composite and mounted on stainless steel framework, giving you lasting protection without compromising visibility. A custom A-frame offers a water sports tow point while integrating cleats and rescue features — because adventure often demands flexibility.

Below deck, two 300L aluminium fuel tanks deliver serious range. With 600L total capacity and dual marine-grade filters, you can go further with confidence. The aluminium keel protector and heavy-duty rubbing strakes help fend off rough beach landings or low-tide surprises. Whether you’re powering through offshore chop or exploring a remote inlet, this WR880 keeps pace.

Tech You Can Trust

Navigation and comms are handled by a Garmin electronics pack that includes dual chartplotters, radar, VHF with DSC, AIS, and a wireless phone charger. Add in a Fusion Marine audio system and you’ve got just enough luxury to go with the utility.

Scanstrut, Yamaha, Garmin, Scot Seats, and Evo Teak — every component on board is hand-picked to match the WR880’s rugged brief. This boat doesn’t cut corners. It builds confidence.

Real-World Tested

Whether you’re pushing hard through a coastal weather system or beaching on a quiet headland to cook your catch, the Gemini WR880 is the boat you want under you.

If you’re serious about offshore capability, commercial durability, and adventure-ready versatility, this boat deserves a place on your shortlist.
