7.6 m Aluminium Navy RIB by ASIS

RIBs are versatile as you can read here and here. It’s no wonder professionals choose use a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), like those used by police, the navy, SAR (check this out), customs and maritime staff.

It’s also a great ‘tool’ for heavy duty operations as well.

Nigeria is in the market for a new 7.6 m Aluminum ASIS RIB. This vessel can quickly and efficiently respond to emerging national security threats as they arise.

This RIB has D-tubes installed in favour of more deck space.

Salpa Soleil 42 vs 33 – What’s Your Favourite Big RIB model

In this very well structured video from Brugge Marine Center, two big Salpa RIBs are being compared namely Soleil 42 and 33.

Nautica Salpa was founded in 1984 and collects the experience that Antonio and Enza Pane have gained for more than thirty years in the pleasure boat sector.

RIB owners claim to have seen an amazing improvement in performance thanks to a new technology that originates from the aviation industry.

Salpa’s excellent seaworthiness, manoeuvrability and performance, combined with its great structural strength, low weight and fuel consumption made it a favourite amongst RIBs.

Proud to share that Brugge Marine Center (BMC) is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.

I always like to know who the designer is behind the RIB. After all, they make it happen for us by creating a great hull to weather many seas and make sure that you have all you need on and below deck.

The 12.5 m Ballistic RIB is an older realization of Ben Rogerson Yacht Design, but still it’s a great sight to see.

This big Ballistic RIB is designed for maximum adventure to explore the coasts and go on quests with friends and family.

This RIB has 2 cabins, 2 seating areas, an aft sun lounging pad and plenty of power with the twin Yamaha 425 XTO outboards.
