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.

RIB Hysucat

2019-12-022019-12-02 Karel Overlaet, Medianaut

Hysucat 8.5 high speed RIB was tested in rough sea conditions once again. It happened in Antalya, Turkey. On November 26, 2019 the wave was more than 2,5 meters high. Still our high speed boat was stable, no drop of water inside and stability was beyond expectations. Hydrofoil technology that is used or these boats let you feel yourself comfortable and safe in any conditions. Rough sea conditions are comfort for Hysucat boats.
