CAPELLI TEMPEST 750

2022 Capelli Tempest 750 | A Specialized Vessel Finds Its Market in South Florida

‍

Rigid inflatable boats occupy a niche that's growing fast in South Florida's marine market-and the Italian-built Capelli Tempest 750 represents the upper end of that category. With a semi-rigid GRP hull, high-performance outboard configuration, and a design pedigree rooted in European commercial and military marine markets, the Tempest 750 offers a unique proposition: serious capability in a platform that defies simple categorization.

‍

The Seller's Situation

‍

The owner had acquired the Tempest 750 for use as a chase boat and tender for a larger yacht program. When the primary vessel was sold and the support structure dissolved, the Capelli became surplus. In excellent condition with very low hours, it was listed with Miami Yachting at $93,000 USD-a price that positioned it accurately in the premium RIB/RHIB segment of the South Florida market.

Finding the Right Buyer for a Specialty Vessel

‍

The Tempest 750 isn't a boat for everyone-and that's precisely what makes finding the right buyer both challenging and rewarding. Miami Yachting identified three primary buyer profiles for this vessel: yacht owners seeking a high-performance tender, marine professionals needing a fast utility boat, and recreational buyers looking for a unique, capable platform for South Florida waterways and the Bahamas.

Marketing targeted all three audiences through dedicated marine professional networks, yacht tender listings, and recreational boating platforms simultaneously.

The Outcome

‍

A buyer from the marine industry-with plans to use the vessel as both a professional support craft and a personal recreation boat-purchased the Capelli Tempest 750 for $67,000 USD, representing 72% of the asking price. The negotiation reflected the niche nature of the market rather than any deficiency in the vessel. Miami Yachting coordinated the closing, documentation, and delivery.
