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. Know what to look for when buying a RIB.

Karel Overlaet, Medianaut

In this video, you’ll learn about ASIS Marina Operations Support Boat, the best and most unique RIB for marina operators. As we seek to innovate continuously, we improved the standard RIB features to cater to the marina operators needs. In this video, you’ll notice the two unique features:
-The flat foam bow which has been designed on the concept of a tugboat but for private yachts instead of large ships to assist them in mooring, without damaging either craft.
-The front pull bow post which allows towing of another boat with improved manoeuverability than a tow post at the back of the boat.
