Why fish with Ribcraft?

Stability

Due to the buoyant, flexible tubes, our RIB fishing boats are more stable than traditional boats. This means you can move freely around the deck to cast your line and retrieve fish. Better stability reduces the chances of someone getting seasick, too.

Easy transport

Our RIB fishing boats weigh less than traditional boats, making it easier for you to transport them to prime launching locations before the crowds arrive. Plus, you can pair RIBs with more lightweight trailers and towing vehicles, saving you money on equipment and fuel.

Easy launch

Launching our RIBs is easier and safer than launching traditional boats because they have a shallower draft. Plus, the shallower draft can open up launching locations that you wouldn’t have been able to use in a traditional boat, like beaches and rivers.

Manoeuvrability

Our RIB fishing boats are highly maneuverable, allowing you to dodge structures like reefs to reach prime fishing spots. Anchoring a RIB is easier than anchoring a traditional boat too, in part because RIBs have less windage.

Frequently asked questions

Are RIBs good for fishing?

RIBs make fantastic fishing boats because they’re capable and reliable at sea. If you’re after proof, consider that nearly every boat in the 2023 Open Des Glénan fishing contest in France was a RIB.

Is it safe to fish from a RIB?

Our RIB fishing boats are incredibly stable and reliable, and you can easily customise them so you have plenty of open deck space. We construct the inflatable tubes with high-grade hypalon, and they consist of multiple chambers. It would take a concentrated effort to puncture one with a hook. As a failsafe, we also include an emergency repair kit with every one of our RIB fishing boats.

What safety gear should I pack for a fishing trip?

It’s best practice to include these items on every boat: personal flotation devices, a VHF marine radio, navigation equipment, flares, foul weather gear, sunscreen, and water. Proper planning is also essential.

How should I set up a RIB for fishing?

You can customise every detail of our RIB fishing boats, ensuring your RIB meets your exact needs. Commonly, our customers ensure their RIBs feature clear decks, cool boxes, bait-cutting trays, multiple rod positions, and the Fishfinder.
