Sea Safari Passenger Carriers

Passenger Carriers and Tourist Boats
Ribcraft have many years experience in building commercial Ribs. Our main advantage over our competitors is that we are complete boat builders, at our Somerset factory we manufacture the entire craft from start to finish. This enables us to have total control over the quality and construction of our boats, the result being a well finished and strong commercial boat ready for years of trouble free service. Ribcraft's are a tried and tested commercial work boats easily coping with the endurance demands of heavy commercial usage.

The Interior
The Ribcraft 9.0 Offshore has a large internal deck space, with its wide 3.0 metre beam there's ample room for varied seating combinations tailored to your operating requirements.

The Drivers console
The most popular location for the console is at the stern of the boat; this enables you to keep a close watch over your passengers. The console is raised above the deck level to give you a clear view over your passengers even if they're standing.

Passenger Seating
We offer two main styles of seating to comfortably accommodate 12 passengers; you can of course specify your own requirements. We can offer 12 individually jockey seats or 4x three person bench seats. We also offer removable seating to enable you to change the internal layout of the boat, giving you more flexibility.

The Design
The Ribcraft 9.0 offshore was designed by an industry leading designer; the late George Marvin had the reputation of being the most experienced designer of Ribs in the industry through his works in fluid dynamics.

Coding
The Ribcraft 9.0 meter offshore is MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) Type approved. This means that the boat has already passed the relevant buoyancy, stability and approved build standards. The finished boat can leave the factory fully coded and ready to work. The relevant safety equipment has to be onboard at the time of inspection, Ribcraft can supply the complete inventory of safety equipment or if you prefer to source this yourself, we will give you a detailed shopping list of what's required. Please contact us with any questions regarding coding.

Flexible approach
Whether you are a new business or an existing operator, we can assist you with bringing your boat into service with the minimum of fuss. As standard every boat will have full sea trials before she's handed over, this will give you a couple of hours onboard with our RYA Instructor. Above and beyond this is up to your requirements, we can offer full training from RYA courses to engine and boat familiarisation if required.

Back Up
At our Somerset factory we have the facilities in place to offer you a full back up service; we can offer you technical advice on any aspect of your boat or engine. Ribcraft are main dealers for Suzuki, Evinrude, Mariner and Honda, as main dealers we have full service, diagnostic and technical back up facilities.
