what we offer
Rib Events
We run Rib events in the Solent and on the Thames, or anywhere in the UK where there’s water but no speed limit! Our events are brilliantly executed whether a Rib Treasure Hunt or a Land, Sea Air day.
With a wholly owned fleet of 49 boats, we cater for all events – small or large. We live and breathe Ribs; small enough to care about every charter but big enough to never let you down.

What our customers say
Another unforgettable private RIB experience in Cape Town.
Another highly successful private boat hire day with Cape Private RIB. Everything was well organised from booking to departure. The boat was in excellent condition and the experience on the water was smooth, safe, and truly enjoyable. Our clients had an amazing time exploring the Cape Town coastline at their own pace.

From start to finish the process was seamless.
We booked Cape Private RIB for a private day out on the water. From start to finish the process was seamless. The online booking system was easy to use, document upload was straightforward, and everything was ready on arrival. A very professional and well-managed experience.
