Why Advertising on RIBsONLY.com Matters
RIBsONLY.com is the only dedicated RIB news and knowledge platform, serving the global Rigid Inflatable Boat community since 2008.
Buyers often choose brands they recognise.
Advertising here puts your name in front of readers who are actively searching for RIB news, RIB reviews, new RIB models, technical information, many guides and buying advice, not a broad boating audience.
That makes RIBsONLY.com the targeted link in your marketing mix, from first brand exposure to research, consideration and purchase.
See below exactly what advertising includes, plus our 2026 audience and performance data.

Now They Look You Up on the Spot
The RIBsONLY Brand Finder turns a moment of attention into an answer. At a boat show, at a dealer, while considering a used RIB, or while dreaming about the one you would like: a visitor types your brand, and the tests, reviews, model presentations and technical information already published on RIBsONLY.com are on the screen. No digging through years of articles.
It lives on the home screen of a phone and it draws on the same knowledge base our editorial adds to every week, so presence here is presence at the moment a name is checked, not only the moment it is seen.
Friends of RIBsONLY.com enjoy premium visibility, prominently positioned directly beneath the search bar.
