GALA A450L Where “L” Stands for Deluxe

GALA is an international project, established in 2014 and developed by GALA MARINE INTERNATIONAL Inc., a part of GRAND MARINE GROUP, ON, Ontario, Canada, in cooperation with GELEX GLOBAL GROUP in Ukraine.

GALA builds aluminum-hull Rigid Inflatable Boats and foldable inflatables at a modern facility in Ukraine, distributing them to over 30 countries.

Since 2019, GALA has been developing the GALAXY line of Commercial Grade Professional Aluminum hull RIBs for professional applications such as Search and Rescue,

Law enforcement, Military, and Diving. GALA’s European production is a significant strength.

GALA Boats Great Walkaround at TIBS 2023

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Canada designs the Gala boats and started in 2015. They use aluminum to make the hull.

After searching a lot (the website only mentions “‘manufactured in Europe”) I finally found this decisive information: “The city of Kharkiv in Ukraine (…) is home to 3 well-known brands in the European RIB sector: Grand, Brig and Gala. The Grand shipyard also has a factory in Odessa, on the shores of the Black Sea.” (source)

This walkaournd video was shot during the Toronto International Boat Show.

The largest Rigid Inflatable Boat (today) is 7.8 meter (P8 model) but they have mostly smaller RIBs as you can see in these well-selected videos.

The new Grand Tour GT console option combines Classic series’ lightweight craftsmanship, performance and comfort with Sport boats’ design and features. Compare with the previous model.

The Classic GT, a great choice for easy handling and all-season responsiveness, is available for the Highfield 340 and up. This turns the Classic into the perfect, user-friendly runabout.

Proud to share that Highfield is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.
