Northern Rib Hire has a fleet that consists of a mix between Rib Boats and Catamarans for hire that can satisfy any maritime craving their customers may have. Whether you’re planning a future sailing adventure, or just wanting to play around on the water, a flexible and affordable Rib Boat is a perfect choice.
A spokesperson from Northern Rib Hire added: “We currently have nine Ribs in service, four of which have been built for us within the past couple of years. All of our Ribs have been designed with multipurpose functionality in mind and, as such, many have modular designs that can be altered to the client’s requirements.”

This unique offering means that any client will be able to tailor their maritime experience to their specific needs. Northern Rib Hire also has their own boat transport, which means that they are able to do all of their Rib movements in-house to keep their quotes competitive and their delivery service reliable.
Rib boats have the distinct advantage of usually offering a greater capacity than your ordinary rigid boats. In addition to this, a Rib will also offer more stability. This makes them a good choice for anyone wanting to explore either the ocean or lakes, and they’re a good option for families interested in pleasurable day trips or watersports such as water skiing, wakeboarding, or diving.

Diving is one of the most popular reasons for hiring a Rib and Northern Rib Hire has a range of dive-suitable vessels within their fleet of Ribs and Catamarans. Each capable of different jobs in varying conditions, their flagship dive vessel, Katabatic, was built for purpose and is equipped with a 15 KVA generator, diver wash-down facilities, and a 750kg A-frame capable of 4-point mooring.

The company’s large open Rib, Mistral, has plenty of open deck space that can accommodate a scuba replacement unit and a 5-man dive team, crew, and company rep. The Rib also includes a dive ladder for easy ingress and egress. Several of Northern Rib Hire’s smaller Ribs including the Calima and Diablo have also been used for commercial diving operations on inland locations where access is restricted.

Northern Rib Hire’s fleet consists of vessels that range in size from 7.8 meters to 12.5 meters in length, which makes them highly suitable for a wide range of activities. They are capable of carrying one family for a day’s worth of fun on the water, or up to 12 passengers, which is ideal for a year-end function, team building activity, or leisure cruise with friends.
