PB Europe: Cool Protector Boats and Scorpion RIBs

PB Europe: Scorpion RIBs and Protector Boats @ RIBs ONLY - Home of the Rigid Inflatable Boat

PB Europe

The company is the exclusively appointed European Distributor for Scorpion RIBs and Protector Boats (Rayglass).

Ian (Andy) Andrews is the Brand Manager for PB Europe and Ancasta for Protector Boats and Scorpion RIBs.

In this post I’ll focus on the Protector RIBs.

Protector RIBs have a track record of proven operational excellence in extremely challenging waters worldwide, this watercraft serves as a robust platform for a range of commercial applications.

Encounter them in action at prestigious events like the America’s Cup and Sail GP races, where they serve as indispensable support vessels.

I’ve posted articles and videos of the British built Scorpion RIBs as well as of the Rayglass brand that build Protector RIBs in New Zealand.

Brugge Marine Center RIB Trip River Leie May 2023

Brugge Marine Center RIB Trip @ RIBs ONLY - Home of the Rigid Inflatable Boat

Brugge Marine Center RIB Trip Amazes Again

During the year, Bruges Marine Centre (BMC) organises RIB trips (Rigid Inflatable Boat).

As every year, there is a cruise on the beautiful river Leie. So was this one in Flanders, Belgium.

Cruises are also organised abroad in fantastic locations.

The Belgian-located company led by Kris Deraedt will hold an open day during the weekend of 17 and 18 June 2023.

Checkout the previous one and more posts.

It’s always interesting getting to know them and visit their halls with also second hand RIBs.

People come from far to checkout their offerings and the Brugge Marine Center RIB Trip planning.

Checkout the slideshow below and be part of this trip.

Proud to share that Brugge Marine Center (BMC) is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.

Slideshow Alunaut A10 RIB

This Alunaut A10 RIB is the very first one. This Rigid Inflatable Boat didn’t only caught my eye but those of many visitors as well. It is not surprising when you look at the photos.

The 10 meter long aluminum body Rigid Inflatalble Boat (RIB) in combination with the open cockpit and red tubes are a treat for the eye. The finishing clearly is of a high level.

The seams of welding are the work of specialists. Mark Muru, CEO of Alunaut (Estonia) and member of RIBs ONLY, said that this SAR RIB is the first in its series.

Twin Mercury 350 Verados will be installed. Launch is scheduled for late April, early May 2019.

To Route du Rhum

What a sight to see: a road train of Gemini RIBs on Vanclaes trailers in this Route du Rhum Slideshow.

Look at the details of those stainless steel trailers with waterproof lights and the Gyro Roller System. Novi Marine provided the impressive Gemini RIBs.

Together they were spotted on the way to and from the departure of the Route du Rhum in France.

All the photos were provided by Novi Marine, a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
