Category Description

RIBs were once smaller and primarily associated with compact yacht tenders and simple fishing boats. However, advances in technology and emerging market demands have driven the industry to create larger RIBs. These Maxi RIBs are no longer just for the coast guard capturing criminals on the water, offshore work in rough seas, or providing tourists with high-speed excursions on city rivers. Now, they are well-designed and ideal for long, sunny days spent by families and groups of friends enjoying time on the water. And these RIBs have never looked better.

A key factor in this development was the shift in superyacht owners' preferences. They moved away from the practice of buying only small tenders that fit within the yacht's garage. Instead, they recognized that a larger RIB could serve as a chase boat, following the yacht—even if it isn’t a 100-meter gigayacht—offering enhanced comfort and enjoyment during sunny days and evenings ashore. Additionally, acquiring such a chase boat can address space constraints and deliver added pleasure with a smaller investment, all without requiring modifications to the main yacht.

Additionally, the overall growth in the average size of superyachts has also created a market for Maxi RIBs. On the latest yachts, these RIBs fit on the open decks and are easily lifted and launched with a custom crane.

Maxi RIBs offer numerous layout options, including various seating arrangements, backrests, sunbeds, and hardtops. The outboard engines are powerful, reaching speeds of up to 80 knots while consuming less fuel than other boats of the same size. With great power comes the exhilarating experience of being onboard such a RIB.

Another great advantage of Maxi RIBs is their reduced need for fenders. This is particularly beneficial when used as a tender to travel from the yacht ashore and back, or as an independent day boat maneuvering in and out of marinas.

Helming Maxi RIBs is easy and enjoyable. The deep V hull, combined with an inflatable tube that adds buoyancy and acts as a large fender, allows for close shore access. Powerful audio systems enhance the onboard experience, making time on the water even more enjoyable. The appearance of these boats is easily customizable, offering flexible designs, high-quality upholstery, and bespoke finishes.

Additionally, these boats are stable and require minimal maintenance, inheriting these traits from their predecessor RIBs designed to perform in any sea condition and handle large payloads.

With all these characteristics, Maxi RIBs effortlessly become excellent chase boats, day boats, and luxurious inflatable cruisers, perfect for exploring coastlines and accessing beaches. Some even offer an ideal day boat experience with a range of over 200 nautical miles and a comfortable cabin featuring a large double bed. This category of boats is continuously evolving, with new levels of comfort being achieved each season.
