Welcome to RIBs ONLY

This blog is devoted to the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Why RIBs?

PASSION FOR RIBs

I’ve always been fascinated by the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Their form, style, lay-out, toughness, seaworthiness and sportive way of navigating are the unquestionable advantages you’ll rarely find combined in another type of boat.

TYPE OF RIBs

This type of boat is also known as the 4 x 4 of the sea. Rescue services, military, police, port staff often use RIBs because of their excellent behavior, seaworthiness and solidity. Other RIBs are fitted for pleasure, fishing and racing. A RIB is indeed a very special type of motorboat.

Gordon Ramsay, how would you like your Ribeye?

Karel Overlaet, Medianaut

On this episode we had a great day handing over our grey RIB PRIME EIGHT21 to the Ramsay family. We started with some offshore boating but the main focus of the day was getting to grips with the benefits of having two engines when maneuvering in tight river spaces. Thrilled to get another great team into the Ribeye family!
