Island RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) are the perfect balance of form and function: tough, good-looking, and designed to deliver an incredibly smooth, dry ride with outstanding sea handling. Handcrafted in the Isle of Wight, UK, these RIBs combine British craftsmanship, proven durability, and sleek design to create boats trusted by professionals and loved by recreational owners.
Trusted by the British Antarctic Survey and marine professionals worldwide.
Deep V-hull with 24.5° deadrise and spray rails ensures a stable, dry, and precise ride.
Orca Hypalon tubes stand up to the heat and UV, with 5 separate chambers, pressure-release valves, and a 5-year warranty.
Cruise comfortably at 30mph with exceptional fuel economy and top speeds over 50mph.
Available in a wide range of hull and tube colours, with ergonomic seating and secure storage.
Island RIBs aren’t just for leisure—they’re built to commercial standards that prove their strength and reliability at sea. The 7M and 8–10M series are MCA Category 3 (R) rated, licensed to operate up to 20 miles offshore, while the cuddy and cabin versions of the 8–10M series can be rated to MCA Category 2. All models are also independently certified as RCB Cat B, ensuring outstanding offshore performance. With this pedigree, it’s no surprise that Island RIBs are the trusted choice of photographers, conservationists, and professional operators who demand safety and seaworthiness in the toughest conditions.
Imagine leaving Virgin Gorda’s North Sound and arriving in Anegada in under 25 minutes—dry, comfortable, and on just 3 gallons of fuel. With an Island RIB, all 64 islands and cays of the BVI are just a smooth, efficient ride away.
Whether you’re heading out for a dive, a family beach day, or a regatta chase, Island RIBs give you a safe, versatile, and fun platform to explore.
Island RIBs are designed to deliver both customisation and durability, making them perfect for Caribbean adventures.
