Practical, versatile, and performance-driven, RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) are a cornerstone of modern yachting. Known for their lightweight construction, stability, and speed, they serve as both essential tenders for larger yachts and highly capable standalone vessels for leisure, sport, or professional use.
Top builders such as Williams Jet Tenders, Zodiac, Technohull, Ribeye, and Pascoe have elevated RIB design, combining durability with luxury. Today’s RIBs offer more than just utility—they feature sleek styling, advanced engineering, and customizable layouts that make them as suitable for coastal exploration as they are for water sports or guest transfers.
Sizes range from compact 3 to 5-meter RIBs ideal for superyacht garages, to larger 10 to 15-meter models equipped for offshore cruising. Many include seating for 6 to 12 passengers, powerful outboard or inboard engines, and amenities such as sunpads, shaded bimini tops, and even small galleys or heads in larger versions. Their inflatable collars ensure added buoyancy and safety, giving owners confidence in a variety of sea conditions.
RIBs are also renowned for their versatility. They excel as high-speed chase boats, diving or fishing platforms, family day boats, or luxury tenders for transporting guests ashore in style. Their shallow draft and easy maneuverability allow access to secluded bays and beaches, while their rugged construction ensures durability even in demanding conditions.
