Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 vs Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a inflatable rigid Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 against a deep vee Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 has a 296-hp advantage over the Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010's 4-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 could be the deciding factor.

The Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 has a documented top speed of 10 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.

The Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.

Bottom line: Choose the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 vs Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 or the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013?
The Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 is the longer of the two at 24,9 feet overall. The Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 comes in at 7,3 feet, making it roughly 17,7 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 is rated to a maximum of 300 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 tops out at 4 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 2 passengers, while the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 is certified for 7. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 measures 55" wide, compared to 12" for the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 and Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Zodiac Cadet RIB 220 2010 and the Zodiac N-ZO 760 2013 are built by Zodiac. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
