When you’ve been leading the way for years, you don’t need to make noise; the boats speak for themselves.

At Rib-X, we’ve been discreetly designing and building high-performance superyacht tenders for our customers since 2003, long before they became an ‘industry first.’

Our craftsmanship, proven performance, and a relentless drive to provide incredible service, has always set us apart.

We’re proud to see attention growing in this space, and we’ll continue to be over here, quietly building the boats of the future, for our discerning customers, as we always have.

If you’d like to see more, we’d love to hear from you.

World first? Try world proven. 🥇

Rib-X delivered its first hard-sided SOLAS-compliant superyacht tender in 2017, and today, it’s still in service on a world class motor yacht. Five years ago, we also delivered 2 SOLAS RIBS and 1 hard-sided tender to the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht, Sea Eagle II.

Innovation isn’t about being the loudest. It’s about leveraging years of expertise, quietly looking to the future; building a legacy in beautifully crafted, entirely bespoke and high performing boats.

We’re proud to continue leading from the front.

Rare Capture: The Rib-X 43C Chase boat in the Solent, 22nd January '25.

Speed meets precision in this extraordinary moment - a fleeting glimpse of our legendary 43C chase boat caught pre blast off. These vessels are notorious for their incredible velocity, making such a clear shot almost impossible. This intrepid photographer managed to freeze a split second of pure maritime engineering excellence.

The Rib-X 43C doesn't just move through water - it commands it with style and stability. A testament to high-performance marine design that leaves other chase boats trailing in its wake.

The Chase 43 is offered as an open boat, T-top or Cabin version.

The console can include heads for added onboard comfort and additional options include wetbar with twin grill, sink and fridge to provide a luxury ‘picnic’ experience.

Standard set up is with twin 400hp Verados but we offer several
alternatives to meet client requirements including Diesel
outboards or Hybrids. The 13m cabin version gives a more sheltered option whether it be from the rain, or the sun.

For hotter climates we offer a water misting system to regulate
cabin temperature. We can also add heating to the cabin.

As standard the Ullman suspension seats allow comfort in all weathers for the primary four, or six users.
