Wat is een rib boot huren

What is a RIB?

RIB is short for Rigid Inflatable Boat. RIBs are high-speed motorboats with a hard hull and an inflatable tube around the edge of the boat. The tube is filled with air to ensure stability on the water, although the boat does not float on the tube itself. This level of stability comes in useful when travelling at high speed, which makes the sailing performance of a RIB better than other types of boat in most cases. When cornering and tackling high waves, the tube offers added stability and safety.

The hull of a RIB is usually made of polyester or aluminium. The heavy hull and light tube together mean that the centre of gravity of a RIB is fairly low. Weight distribution on RIBs with an inboard motor is optimised further when compared to those with an outboard motor. This ensures that RIBs perform well in poor conditions, in bad weather and high waves.

What is a RIB used for?

Renting a RIB can support you with:

  • Surveillance and enforcement
  • Inspection work
  • Lifeboard and standby activities
  • Taking photographs or videos
  • Supervising sports events
  • Underwater inspection
  • Other activities

Our skippers receive periodic training and hold all necessary diplomas and certificates.
