My two Cobras

Arriving in Arradon (Brittany, France) everything was ready to go out and enjoy RIBbing in the Morbihan and further out. A super spot. We’re June 2021.

Before boarding I was checking my bag for the charger of the VHF radio on the right (Cobra MR HH325 which is a very solid and a very good one), I turned red from shame to behind my ears: I had forgotten the charger at home.

At that moment I never realised I knew so many languages.

What do to now?

Introduction

Rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) are very popular amongst families and individuals.

They are versatile and can be used for various leisure activities such as fishing, speed boating, taking day trips or weekends and even wakeboarding or water skiing.

The fun of owning a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is truly fantastic!

I had splendid times with my wife and kids in our family RIB for many years, powered by a Suzuki 140 hp. We took our Labrador along as well. The funny thing is that he wanted to jump overboard every time he saw a buoy, barking and swaying his tail.

Owning a RIB is fun and rewarding because they’re entertaining boats and you have a lot of satisfaction.

These boats are sometimes high-speed and can cope with challenging sea conditions which is why they are often used to rescue people from the water.

Recreational RIBs come in a variety of sizes and are trailerable up to 3.5 tons (in my country, Belgium) or 7,716 lb. Others weigh much more than that, are too wide and thus are no longer trailerable.

If you’re into buying a RIB, I have good news for you: out there is one especially for you. Find it! Pop your questions in our Facebook group. Get some idea of what used RIBs cost in RIBs ONLY Sales.

Let’s look at why owning a RIB is fun for the whole family.

Every detail, from technical aspects to the entire deck, including the cushions equipped for the two aft missions and the sunbed on the bow deck, which also features a practical retractable awning.

The command area is enhanced by a futuristic T-top that seamlessly complements the rest of the boat, giving the Envy 1400 a captivating look.

Below deck, four berths include a double bed forward and another amidships, with remarkably spacious interiors for a 14-meter vessel.

The strategically placed windows on the forward part of the hull add brightness, offering the fortunate owner a wake-up view.
