About us

Our military-grade leisure RIBs give everyone the power to live by our mantra: Keep Discovering.

Built into us. Built into our boats.

Curiosity

What will we find past that next headland? What’s that floating just beyond the breakers? Curiosity drives everything we do. We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of possibility with our RIBs so you can do the same in the sea.

Adventure

Life isn’t meant to be lived on a couch in front of a screen. Adventure reveals parts of ourselves that we never knew existed. It shows us that the boundaries we’ve built in our minds are little more than illusions, and we’re much stronger than we could ever have believed.

Freedom

Through adventure, we realise we have far more freedom than we thought. Nowhere is this more evident than among the waves. Our RIBs grant you the power to embrace the freedom of our planet’s vast oceans and myriad seas.

Connection

Adventure brings us together like nothing else. Friends and family, yes — but also humans and nature. As we walk into an uncertain future, it’s more important than ever to connect with the oceans that gave us life. Because if we love them, we’ll protect them.

Expertise

Nothing we do at Ribcraft is half-baked. We work with the best of the best to sew reliability and safety into the fabric of every RIB we create, and we’re here to answer any question you have along the way — with complete transparency.

Versatility

Versatility matters in our factories as much as it does on the sea. We’re constantly adapting to new challenges and seizing every opportunity to improve, no matter how small. This attitude inspires us to go above and beyond with our service to create the exact RIB you see in your dreams.

Worthy of the sea

In an ocean of unpredictability, Ribcraft is a constant.

Military-grade toughness

Our leisure RIB boats offer an exhilarating on-water experience without sacrificing the military-grade reliability and safety that RIBs are famous for.

Endless customisation

From storage capacity to the colour of the tube to the placement of the compass, no detail is too small. We’ll build you the exact RIB you see in your dreams.

Any lifestyle — unlocked

From fishing to watersports. From diving to family adventures. Whatever lifestyle, whatever adventure, there’s a RIB with your name on it.

British design and manufacture

We’ve been empowering seafarers with military-grade RIBs for more than 30 years

Founding Ribcraft in Great Britain in 1993, we’ve forged a worldwide reputation as a first-rate designer and manufacturer of custom RIBs for military and emergency services. Globally, our RIBs are on the sea 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With Ribcraft Leisure, we’re bringing all the power of our classic RIBs to the public — so you can Keep Discovering.

Global dealerships and support

No matter what ocean you call home, we can build you the RIB of your dreams

We operate out of purpose-built factories in Great Britain, Australia, and the Middle East and collaborate with a network of RIB dealers that spans the globe. That way, it doesn’t matter where you live — you can get the full RIB experience.

Our history

In 2001, we put our 4.8m RIBs to the test, successfully navigating around the entire British Isles in adverse weather conditions.

One of our proudest achievements was in 2012 — when we supplied RIBs for the London Olympic Games.

2023

In 2023, we created Ribcraft Leisure so we could bring the power of our classic military-styled RIBs to the public. That way, everyone can have the power to Keep Discovering.

1993

We founded Ribcraft in Great Britain in 1993, and from day one, we set out to forge a worldwide reputation as a first-rate designer and manufacturer of custom RIBs for military and emergency services.
