Bear Grylls RIBs

The Bear Grylls RIBs consists of four fine vessels – the BG 500, 650, 850 and1100 – skillfully crafted by Madera, a world-renowned Dutch boat builder.

In this informative video all models are presented along with their specifications.

Madera

Madera is renowned for constructing durable, high-performing vessels. Their craft are agile and robust enough to handle the toughest offshore conditions, and they proudly tout them as “virtually indestructible”.

This newest range of sea vessels truly epitomizes the idea of ‘bringing all the best aspects of offshore military grade technology to the recreational boating industry’.

To make the models lightweight, strong and durable, each BG vessel is made from quality aluminum with foam tubes. Unlike inflatable tubes, foam ones don’t change in size due to temperature differences. This makes them easier to work on and repair if needed.

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Two Revenger 29 Mk2s from 2009 sailed from Cannes (F) to Saint Florent (Corsica). These Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) are considered as high-performance boats and built for speed.

Here is another video of this much respected brand.

Unfortunately the once famous British shipyard closed in 2015.

The preparation of those boats was done in Lorient by SAS (www.revenger.fr) which is a testament to their quality.

Sadly SAS also stopped their activities due to the fact that Revenger went out of business because of lack of sales.

Nevertheless it is still a sought-after RIB brand.
