We manufacture a 3.2metre, 2 seater, mini jetsprint craft, ideal for father son racing. This easy to store, tow and maneuver craft is ideal for watersports.
Recreational RIBs
We manufacture recreational RIB craft in sizes from 2.9 metres to 8.3 metres powered by outboard motors or inboard waterjets. For the small (<4.3m) inboard waterjets we have exclusive supply of Panther waterjet propulsion units.
Within the range a number of models have been specifically designed and built within the weight and size constraints of specific yachts tender systems eg a 2.9 metre waterjet tender to fit within the constraints of the Maritimo Locker.
