  • Ribcraft Deep-V Hull® is now officially recognised as a registered trademark, a testament to over 30 years of research, design, and performance innovation in RHIB hull technology. Ribcraft's unique hull designs optimise key factors such as center of gravity, deadrise angles, trim angle, planning surfaces, chine location, and spray rail size to deliver smooth high speed performance, sharp turns and safe, predictable handling. Our hulls also provide excellent stability at rest and high load carrying potential. Don’t just take our word for it; speak to any Ribcraft user. They will attest to the hull’s performance and its ability to instill confidence in challenging sea conditions, ensuring the safety of their crew across all speed ranges. #Ribcraft #RIB #ChallengingTheElements

    R&R on the Ribcraft R011 custom-made iSUP. We believe in building more than just boats; we build strong teams! Employee wellbeing is an integral part of our core values. That's why we are equipping each of our offices with custom specification Ribcraft stand up paddle boards for our employees and their families to enjoy. There's nothing quite like hitting the water to clear your head and recharge. This video is from Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne. #employeewellbeing #worklifebalance #teambuilding #standuppaddleboarding #SUP #boating #portphillipbay #melbourne #australia #victoria #maritime Paul Liddiatt

  • Marine defence forces support a broad range of mission goals, from patrols, surveillance, reconnaissance, infiltration, extractions to mine counter measures. Autonomous watercraft and aerial drones are increasingly important for mission success. Recognising this need, Ribcraft is expanding our range of Military Tactical RHIBs to include the ability to carry and rapidly deploy both crewed and uncrewed special operations watercraft and aerial drones. Our designs are based on Ribcraft's proven high performance hulls. They deliver parallel, rapid deployment and recovery for watercraft and offer clear, open deck space for aerial drone operation. With shock mitigation seating and ballistic protection options for the crew, Ribcraft delivers safe, high speed and high capacity, modular military-grade RHIBs for today's marine defence forces. #MilitaryGrade #RigidInflatableBoats #Defence #Navy #Autonomous #Boat #RHIB #USV #Maritime #Australia #APAC Ribcraft UK & Europe Ribcraft UAE

    We are thrilled to announce the handover of a new Ribcraft 4.8 PRO to Banna Rescue in Tralee Bay, Ireland. The boat's bespoke open layout is optimised for search and rescue missions, featuring a custom-built bow pod that streamlines functionality and maximises deck space. The powerful Yamaha F60 engine propels the RHIB to an impressive 35 knots, a significant upgrade from their previous 25-knot vessel. This enhanced speed translates to faster response times, ensuring timely assistance in critical situations. Brian Crean from Banna Rescue states, "Independent maritime SAR teams in Ireland are navigating a challenging landscape with upcoming regulatory and operational shifts. The Ribcraft 4.8 PRO significantly expands our capabilities. This modern, high-performance vessel strengthens our commitment to saving lives and marks a major step towards completing our fleet modernisation program. Ribcraft's proven pedigree and global reputation within SAR, made them our perfect partner. The notoriously rough waters off Ireland's west coast demand a vessel of exceptional caliber, and this next-generation Ribcraft is poised to serve the Tralee Bay area for many years to come." #BannaRescue #Ribcraft #SearchAndRescue #SAR

  • Last Friday, our APAC Sales and Marketing Manager, Paul Liddiatt, took a break from the office to engage in his passion for serving the community. As a member of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard, Paul conducted MICA water winching exercises with Ambulance Victoria. When asked about the experience, Paul's response was nothing short of awe-inspiring: "It’s hard to describe the noise, spray, and downdraft from a 7-tonne helicopter hovering less than 10 meters above the boat. Quite something to experience!" We're incredibly proud to have team members like Paul who not only excel in their roles but also contribute their time and skills to meaningful causes. Here's to more exciting adventures and making a positive impact beyond the office walls! #TeamRibcraft #CommunityService #VolunteerHeroes #Ribcraft

    Serious about RHIB performance? #Throwback to this in-depth test review of the Ribcraft 9.5m PRO Wheelhouse custom-built for Fisheries Patrol in the #UK. Built for demanding conditions, this boat is a force to be reckoned with. A true workhorse of a boat, here's what the experts had to say: "…Everything is overengineered to comply with Lloyd’s regulations." "The 9.5m Cabin is an immensely strong boat, built with a cross-linked inner matrix, producing a lattice-like construction below deck." "…pretty quick off the mark, hitting 30 knots in 9 seconds and its top speed of 43 knots in around 17 seconds (sea conditions moderate, wind F3)." "…simply superb to throw about… you will not lose the stern…" Read the full review here: https://bit.ly/43Thy6y Ready to experience the #Ribcraft advantage?
