Q: What exactly is a RIB?

The RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) is a fast boat with a hull made of aluminum or polyester. An air-filled rim has been fitted around this hull. The low weight, in combination with the rigid hull and a strong engine, make it a very seaworthy and maneuverable speedboat. RIBs are also called the 4x4s of the water.

Q: Can I also rent a rib as a private individual?

At Ribrental we only rent out to events, sport coaches, media, government, business and other professionals.

Q: When is there a skipper on board?

All boats that we rent out can also be rented including a skipper. All Ribrental boats from 7 meters have P&I coverage and cannot be rented from us without a skipper.

Q: What is the maximum speed of the ribs?

The maximum speed of our fleet is around 70 km per hour. But we certainly don't drive that fast all the time. The weather conditions and water determine our maximum speed, safety comes first. We drive at a speed that pleases you as a guest. That is why people drive at varying speeds and often also tell something about sights along the way.

Q: Are you insured on board?

The ribs of more than 7 meters in our fleet have P&I coverage (passenger insurance / Protection & Indemnity ) with Knigthood. Lost glasses, telephones, handbags, etc. are not covered. If we sail with the media, the same applies. We are not responsible for the cameras and other materials you bring on board. How these are mounted is also up to you. The ribs do have good fixation points.

Q: Will you sail everywhere?

We sail wherever it is allowed. Of course there are limitations such as speed, nature and depth. We will contact you in advance about your wishes and needs, after which we will investigate what is and what is not possible and provide you with feedback.

Q: Do you take care of transport?

Yes, we bring the ribs to the desired place by road. Sometimes we may not be able to enter the water there. We will find a solution together with you, for example in the form of a mobile crane.

Q: When is it no safe to sail with us?

We do not recommend sailing a rib with us if you suffer from neck, back, joint complaints or if you are pregnant. On the water, a wave can always cause an unexpected movement. For more information, please contact us.

Q: Do you get wet in a rib?

Not in nice summer weather, but if the wind increases, the chance that you will get wet will increase. Of course you can get a little wet from splashes. Sailing suits are available when the weather conditions demand it.
