RIB Charter

Rigid Inflatable Boats, or RIB's are fast boats with a rigid base and inflatable sides. Like a big dinghy with a massive 225hp engines on the back! The 4x4 of the sea. As used by the coastguard, Army etc.

All our RIB boats are equiped with the latest saftey features and waterproofs can be provide for those fun days! Passengers sit on a central 'pommel horse' type seat, Because it is lightweight and powerful, boats can reach very high speeds on the water and tend to 'bounce' across waves giving a thrilling ride at sea.

To make it even more fun we can arrange a RIB treasure hunt for you to compete against your friends or colleagues or just a trip to Cowes, Portsmouth Dockyard, The Needles or into Yarmouth for lunch at the George Hotel or The Kings Head. If you have people in your group who do not fancy the RIB why not add our 40ft sports boat with it for that smoother ride and comfort, we will try not to spill their drinks!

All our RIB charters are within the Solent or Southampton Waters and go from either Cowes in the North of the Isle of Wight, or Yarmouth in the West. We can also pick up from most Solent harbours. Please note this is not suitable for people with back or ankle problems.

RIBS can be chartered by the hour, half or full day and are also available for filming, promotions, etc. We have access to RIB's ranging from 6mtr to 10mtrs. RYA courses can be arranged.  Learn to drive a Rigid Inflatable Boat. See the following web site: www.aquapower.co.uk for all your training requirements.
