Why should I rent a RIB?
What makes Rigid Inflatable Boats so popular is that they are stable, easy to maneuver, and fast. This makes it a good option for those who are looking to rent a boat that can quickly and easily take you where you want, and gild your holiday with water sports, diving, or a trip to discover the local area.
The speedboats' speed, safety, and easy maneuverability are something that has made them an obvious favorite among many. The structure of the RIB also means that it remains more stable even when crossing more turbulent water. A RIB rental is therefore a good way to do something extra with the holiday.
Thanks to the construction of the inflatable boat, especially with its air-filled edges and air tubes, it becomes more seaworthy, floats well, and withstands bumpy water while being a very light boat. It also makes it more energy-efficient and can be propelled well with reduced fuel consumption and smaller engines.
How much does it cost to rent a RIB?
Due to the availability of our RIBs over large parts of the world rental costs will vary depending on where in the world you are interested in a RIB boat rental. The price for renting a RIB also depends on whether the fuel is included, the year of manufacture, and the size of the boat.
- At many different destinations, you can get an available RIB for as little as $50/day.
- In European countries, the price for a RIB boat is usually between $150-$350/day.
The largest and fastest RIB boats, which can reach the highest speeds, can cost around $1,000/day. These usually have seats for about 12 people, which means that you can share the cost of renting the boat with a large group.
Do I need a boat license to rent a RIB?
Whether a driver's license or boat license is required to steer depends on the size of the boat and which country you are in. In some countries, it is not possible to rent boats without having some kind of driver's license. Knowing that, through our platform, you can often rent with a skipper, which is a popular choice. By renting a boat with a skipper, you can take advantage of their local expertise to find the best spots you might not otherwise have found.
We have a large selection of RIBs in different sizes, which means that in many places around the world you can find a smaller boat that does not require a license.
Some countries do have rules about the power of the engine and so, to be on the safe side, we always recommend that you contact the boat owners directly via our internal messaging system to discuss details and know exactly what it is that applies. You can also always contact our international team of experts who are available to answer your questions.
