A SERIES A500. This 5m pocket rocket has true offshore capability built like no other conventional RIB of its size. Ribeye created the A500 to accommodate those who have constraints on mooring size or storage but are insistent on a craft design that enables offshore use, proper seating and storage for real boating.
19
ribeye.co.uk
The A500 allows you to venture in comfort as far and wide as you want rather than being restricted which traditionally happens in the 5m size bracket. Why not explore? Extend your time on the water‌
A SERIES A550. A popular size as you are still in the 5m bracket but the model for you if you require performance and features starkly different to others in this category. Uniquely seven adults can be seated comfortably behind the console so everyone on board is protected and dry. The generous beam and turbo deep V hull make for the seriously smooth and dry ride that Ribeye has built its reputation on.
Evolved from the early Ribeye 540, the A550 is a refinement of a British classic for those who demand high performance, luxury and practicality. The A550 is a force to be reckoned with and with the capacity of 40 knots, it ticks all the boxes.
20
A SERIES A600.
21
ribeye.co.uk
With thousands sold, anyone who knows RIBs will know of the A600. The British design of the A600 began with its hull form to offer the deepest, driest and smoothest ride and to outperform any boat in its class. The popularity of this iconic boat has been spurred by its yearly refinements, ergonomics and aesthetics.
The versatility of the A600 combines anything from high offshore performance, stability at rest for lounging, to creating a perfect wake for water sports. The market leading design pedigree of the A600 is envied, imitated yet unrivalled.
“ The A600 is one boat I would personally like to own, which is not an accolade I’ve given many craft amongst the hundreds I’ve tested over the last 15 years….a small boat with a surprisingly big boat feel and capability; able to perform the functions of both a family day boat and offshore adventure craft with equal ability.” Hugo Montgomery-Swan, Editor of Powerboat & RIB Magazine
