The Ribeye winter boat show 2023 will take place from January 30 to February 4. And they offer a good formula.
“The whole family is welcome; for those who want to venture out to sea can experience a fully immersive sea trial with our expert team and for those who want to stay back at base, let the team at Ribeye spoil you with some hospitality by the fire pit.”

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 Maxi Rib Capelli Stradivari 43 offers luxurious trips on the water by the looks in this video. Its topspeed in this video was around 45 knots with 1 person aboard. So it’s clear you don’t buy this RIB to go fast.
This € 600K+ RIB accommodates up to 4 people, has a toilet and shower on board, making it possible for weekend getaways.
A video of the Capelli Tempest 1000 Open, testing it on a very windy Sydney harbour day with moderate swells and lots of wind chop. More Tempest videos here.
Boat Life took the boat through some waves before testing her up to her full speed of 50 kn with the twin 300 hp Yamaha’s.
The Tempest 1000 is equipped with enough space to enjoy your ride out on the water. The seating provides a comfortable boating experience. I’ve publish more Capelli Tempest videos here on RIBsONLY.com.
Check this video for the test drive.
Below you, a toilet and double bed can provide a great night’s sleep on this Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).
