Support boats for sailing and powerboat events

December 12th, 2008 · No Comments

A support RIB is the perfect companion to an off shore sailing yacht.

When in close contact a support RIB can offer unbeatable speed and
manoeuvrability, taking the hassle out of ferrying passengers , picking
up kit or transferring people or equipment between two or more vessels
at sea. Bareboat support RIB charter gives the freedom to use a fully coded and insured RIB as you wish.

Support RIB charter
also offers guests alternative activities including water sports and
opportunities to explore areas inaccessible by larger vessels.

Larger support vessels such as Thames sailing barges can also be hired to support a range of craft.

Rib will allow the photographer to get in the best possible position
