Powerboat & RIB is a respected UK-based boating publication specialising in independent boat reviews, sea trials and expert industry insights. Recently, the site published a boat test of the Finnmaster Pilot 8, praising the boat’s handling, performance, practicality and ease of use.

Powerboat & RIB writes:

“Blending Scandinavian practicality with genuine offshore capability, the Pilot 8 combines safe, all-weather boating with the flexibility to handle everything from family weekends to fast coastal runs.”

“There’s something refreshingly straightforward about the Pilot 8. In a market increasingly filled with boats trying to be all things to all people, the Finnmaster instead feels grounded in the realities of how most owners actually use their boats – it’s practical, comfortable and easy to live with.”

“The Finnmaster Pilot 8 succeeds because it’s safe, practical, comfortable and impressively versatile, with a layout that encourages you to use the boat regularly rather than wait for perfect conditions. Fast enough to feel exciting yet secure enough to inspire confidence, it makes a strong case for family adventure boating done properly.”
