Miami Boat Show Dates

The Miami Boat Show is open from February 15 till 19 in 2023, is truly a huge event showing the best boats around. The organizers call it “The Ultimate Boater’s Destination”. That’s quite a statement.

The owner is the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA). Their members manufacture an estimated 80% of marine products used in North America.

I wonder if – and how many – Rigid Inflatable Boat brands are on display. Let me know!

I”ve collected some RIB videos in Miami here. Quite some very well-known brands.

The Boatlife Boatshow 2023 is just around the corner. Four days of quality time in three halls.

Amazing Ribco Venom 34

This Greek built Ribco Venom 34 is powered by no less than a twin Mercury 4.6L 300 hp Verados outboards.

This ride was performed by our Greek friends of e-Ribbing. Pay them a visit. You won’t regret it.

Thank you, guys for putting a short but ferm focus on the safety measures on board in the beginning of the video. That’s what we like to see more.

The perfect boat for one individual may not be ideal for another, but with careful consideration of needs and desires, every boat can find their ideal owner who will make the most out of it. Check our my article of what to think about before buying a RIB.

The Ribco Venom 34 with its offshore hull is the smaller Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) of the Venom 44 and is now the smallest boat in this range.
