Cross Water RIBs: The Pro Workboat System

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

XW Production’s Cross Water

In this video two vessels cut through the Baltic Sea, operated by seasoned crews. The project is known as Cross Water.

Its tactical RIB range is built as a modular aluminum platform for missions where reliability is non-negotiable.

Users include special forces, naval units, police, border services, and search and rescue teams.

Each craft is handcrafted in Estonia, entirely from aluminum, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.

The system allows multiple mission layouts on a single hull through a flexible deck configuration.

Twin Mercury SeaPro outboards deliver dependable propulsion in harsh maritime environments.

Integrated Raymarine systems support navigation, sensing, and operational awareness.

Developed in Sweden and produced on Muhu Island, the platform reflects rigorous standards.

Founded in 2023, Cross Water is steadily expanding its international operational presence.

Cross Water Modular 750: Why This RIB Stands Out!

Modular Means Rapid Reconfiguration

The Cross Water Modular 750 is a professional aluminium RIB built around a simple idea with strong operational value.

One robust hull supports multiple working configurations.

Instead of treating a boat as a fixed layout, Cross Water uses a mechanical modular system.

Key elements such as seating, consoles and deck equipment can be changed quickly to suit the task.

This core innovation has received strong feedback from professional operators in both defence and industrial sectors.

Users in demanding environments highlight the boat’s stability and confidence in rough conditions.

They also value the practical deck layouts and the adaptable platform.

Operators can modify the boat without compromising safety or work efficiency.

For industrial users, this leads to better fleet utilisation and less downtime between tasks.

For defence and public-sector operators, one platform can support different missions with less complexity.

The result is a RIB designed not only to perform well on the water. It also remains useful across changing real-world operations.

XW Production: XW Modular 750 Rigid Inflatable Boat

The XW Modular 750’s Hull Design

A new brand has been added to RIBsONLY.com — number 275.

After finding only a single video from this brand on their website, I reached out to Jürgen Visnapuu (LinkedIn) at XW Production to learn more.

The hull was designed in-house by XW Production’s founding member Niclas Hans Kling (Sweden). He teamed up with the core engineering team.

Kling has an Impressive background at the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration.

Together, they created a platform built for professional demands from the ground up like the XW Modular 750 Rigid Inflatable Boat.

Built Where Tradition Meets Innovation

Production takes place on Muhu Island, Estonia (EU).

Each hull, like this XW Modular 750, is welded from marine-grade aluminum, before being fully outfitted and quality-assured on site.

This ensures total control over craftsmanship, durability, and performance.

Three Things That Set the Brand Apart

The brand distinguishes itself for three key reasons:

  1. Fully Modular Mission Deck
    Quick-swap modules—whether for diving, SAR, sonar, or crew transport—allow rapid reconfiguration without structural modifications. Adapt in minutes to changing mission requirements.
  2. Exceptional Seakeeping and Pro Ergonomics
    A deep-V aluminum hull ensures stability and composure even in heavy chop. The low tube height is optimized for effortless diver deployment and recovery.
  3. Rugged and “Unsinkable” Mindset
    With a marine-grade aluminum structure and a high-buoyancy collar (≈ 1.5 times the fully loaded displacement), the boat is built for crash tolerance and extreme reliability. A USV / autonomy-ready power / data backbone makes it future-proof for unmanned and tech-integrated operations.

So there you have it.
