A Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is a durable and reliable maritime vessel with a hard-hulled bottom and air-filled sides. It combines a rigid hull that provides stability and strength and an inflatable chamber that grants buoyancy and flexibility. Commonly used for recreation, marine transportation, and search and rescue, RIBs offer superior speed, stability, and manoeuvrability compared to traditional vessels. They are also lightweight and versatile, allowing them to be used in various environments. For divers and rescue personnel, the rigid strength of a RIB provides superior buoyancy, making them an ideal choice for dive and rescue operations.
