Al Rubban Marine

Al Rubban Marine is a well-established boat builder with ties to the powerboat-racing world. Their boats are known for speed, maneuverability, and a high level of craftsmanship. Based in Dubai, Al Rubban Marine manufactures one of the best step-hull boats in the Middle East.

Al Rubban Marine was founded by the late Mr. Jaber Mohammad Jaber Al Tayer, and is currently headed by its co-partner Mr. Saif Mohammad Jaber Al Tayer.

Al Rubban’s Prospects

The client wanted to outfit two boats—a 40’ and 45’ step-hull sport fisher. These boats are what Al Rubban believes will be the next generation of sport fishing boats, so they had to represent the pinnacle of design and craftsmanship.

Along with very demanding requirements, Al Rubban gave Elcome great latitude in the actual design and equipment solution. Understanding that our proposal had to be of the highest quality and able to withstand the demands of the sport fishing environment, our engineering team pushed the edge of the envelope to provide a turnkey electronics solution that met or exceeded all of the client’s expectations.

Design a Button-Free, Fully Automated Center Console Bridge

  • Design and supply an integrated bridge with electrical and resistive loads incorporated into navigation systems for the center console
  • Engine controls, complete sensor data, and augmented reality to be integrated into the button-free bridge

System Specifications

  • 19” Axiom XL multi-function displays for the center console
  • Cyclone Pro open array radar (110W) 4′
  • RVX1000 fish finder module for high-performance fishing
  • Automated Identification System (AIS700)
  • Ray90 VHF radio system
  • YachtSense modular digital control system for boat automation

Coupled with this high-performance equipment package, Elcome also proposed to:

  • Connect electrical and mechanical resistive loads to a fully digital switching system
  • Connect the engine data and engine parameters to the Raymarine multi-function displays
  • Provide augmented reality with CAM220 (day/night camera) and FLIR M364C LR thermal camera (for night navigation)
  • Interface Lumitech Poco lighting system with Raymarine YachtSense digital switching system

Project Scope

Elcome installed and commissioned a comprehensive vessel operation and navigation platform with fish-finding features. The center-console mounting of the displays blends seamlessly with the lines of the boat creating a user-friendly cockpit that is also aesthetically pleasing.

Sea Trial

Following installation, Elcome assisted Al Rubban Marine with commissioning and sea trials. After extensive open-water testing and several productive fishing trips, the integrated navigation bridge and YachtSense digital switching system performed flawlessly and provided many unanticipated benefits. Al Rubban commented that “the combination of our vessel design and Elcome’s vessel navigation and automation platform will set an entirely new standard in the sport fishing world.”
