About Twisted Marine

Twisted Marine, rooted in the high-speed world of Formula 1 and backed by over 30 years of engineering expertise, has set a new standard for precision, luxury, and excellence in the marine industry. Founded by Charles Fawcett, with the vision of MD Jake Cronk, a former Mercedes F1 engineer, Twisted has swiftly become a powerhouse in the marine world, pleasing clients globally with unmatched craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Acquisition of Scorpion RIBs

With the acquisition of the legendary British-built Scorpion RIBs in 2024, Twisted Marine solidified its position as a top-tier OEM. The Scorpion hulls, celebrated for their exceptional design and performance, now form the backbone of Twisted’s powerful and versatile range. Whether it’s the robust 10.8m hull with its twin-stepped, 3.25m wide beam or the sleek and nimble Serket range starting at 7.5m, Twisted’s vessels are built to conquer any adventure with elegance and strength.

Unparalleled service

Twisted Marine’s commitment to excellence extends far beyond the initial purchase. Their unparalleled aftercare service is a unique offering, with a network of engineering support centres across the UK, including Salcombe, Lymington, and Brighton. This infrastructure ensures that every Twisted owner enjoys peace of mind and a seamless experience, supported by local points of contact and a boutique showroom in Salcombe’s Island Street.

Check out two of the best Scorpion tenders out there…


Scorpion Sting

The incredibly capable Sting Cabin boasts more long-distance race and endurance wins than any other boat, including holding the prestigious London to Monte Carlo record. This impressive model is one of the key reasons why the twin-diesel-engine Sting Cabin is often hailed as the world’s best RIB.

The specs

  • Length: 10.1m
  • Beam: 3.1m
  • Draft: 0.5m
  • Dry weight: 4500kg
  • Fuel capacity: 2 x 450L

Scorpion Silurian

Silurian’s generous size and impeccable towing manners make her the ideal tender or chase boat for any Superyacht.

As a modern Superyacht’s perfect complement, the Silurian enhances your guests’ onboard experience with style. This tender offers fast, comfortable, and dry transportation, whether ferrying guests to port or whisking them away to distant bays, islands, or restaurants — delivering the thrill of extended cruising without moving the mothership.

Building on their investment in advanced stepped hull technology, the Silurian combines exceptional performance with safe and predictable handling. This results in a hull that is the most stable on the market, providing the benefits of a Scorpion RIB with unmatched fuel efficiency.

Owners can choose between outboard or inboard engines and select from a wide range of customisable options. The twin-engined Silurian, Black Legend, exemplifies the extensive range and dramatic effects their customisations can achieve.

Interesting fact: The Silurian is also Sir Ben Ainslie’s choice for supporting his America’s Cup World Series team. As a safe, dry, and stable platform, nothing rivals the Silurian’s ability to cover great distances at any speed, regardless of conditions.

The specs

  • Length: 10.49m
  • Beam: 3.25m
  • Draft: 0.42m
  • Dry weight: 3000kg
