Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Boot 2023 Flashback

Boot 2023 in Düsseldorf, Germany, had a fair display of Rigid Inflatable Boats.

In this video 38 different RIBs get a detailed walkaround by sailmoto.

From luxurious, high-end models to more affordable, this lineup had something to inspire you.

Big brands flaunted their flagship RIBs, but budget-conscious boaters weren’t left behind.

Whether you’re dreaming of open-sea adventures or practical cruising, this 2 hour video delivers pure RIB candy.

This video was published on the sailmoto YouTube channel.

I’ve visited Boot Düsseldorf many times but did not create a photo or video post of every visit. Nonetheless, here are more impressions.

Different colours are offered now by a lot of RIB brands. This one depicts the possibilities of the Cobra Nautique 8.2 m Rigid Inflatable Boat, a well-known British brand.

In 1988 the brand started as a family-owned and operated business and has been independent ever since.

When it comes to variations, Penel en Flipo are the Orca makers and suppliers, located in Belgium, Europe. I wrote an article about their product here.
