Semi-rigid boats, also known as inflatables or RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats), have specific features that make them attractive for certain uses and situations. Among these are their lightness and ease of transport, versatility and stability, the ability to access shallow waters, fuel efficiency, quick planing, durability and resistance, as well as easy maintenance. They are also used as auxiliary boats to access larger vessels or explore nearby areas that may not be accessible with the main vessel.

Semi-rigid boats (RIBs) are a type of boat characterized by their flexible structure and buoyancy provided by inflatable air tubes surrounding their perimeter. These boats are extremely versatile and used in a variety of applications, from recreational activities to commercial and rescue purposes. Here are some highlights about the used and new semi-rigid boats we have in our catalog: Carbon fiber or aluminum design, great versatility and maneuverability, stability in navigation, and most importantly: ease of storage and low maintenance cost.
Semi-rigid boats are great because they have a hard hull, usually made of fiberglass or aluminum, to which inflatable tubes made of materials like PVC or neoprene are attached. These tubes provide stability and buoyancy, making them super safe in different sea conditions. Additionally, they are so versatile that you can use them for almost anything, from family outings to fishing, diving, or water skiing. They are also used for work, such as transporting passengers or patrolling the coast.
Thanks to their lightweight design, semi-rigid boats are super maneuverable and can go super fast even with small engines, making them considered cheap boats. They are ideal for quickly and efficiently exploring coastal areas and inland waters. And another thing, the inflatable tubes around the boat give you extra stability in the water, so you feel safer and less seasick than in other types of boats.
And the best part is that they are easy to store and transport. You can deflate and fold them, making them perfect if you have limited space or if you want to transport them on a trailer. So if you want a boat that is safe, versatile, and easy to handle, a semi-rigid boat is the perfect choice for you!
