POWER BOATS
Power boats, when handled skillfully, open up a vast range of leisure and watersports opportunities. Waterski, wakeboard, dive or fish from them, race them, use them to explore otherwise inaccessible bays, coves and caves along the coastline or visit unspoilt areas along rivers and estuaries.
RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats)
RIBs are a hybrid of an inflatable and traditional motorboat offering the user
the best of both; the safety, stability and lightness of an inflatable with
the rigidity and features of a traditional boat. On a RIB the sides are made
of inflatable tubes, while the main hull is made from fiberglass, aluminium
or polyethylene. RIBs are ideal cruising boats as they cover large distances
quickly and their shallow draft means that they will let you explore almost
anywhere there's water, including inlets inaccessible to other boats.
Powerboats
Powerboats come in a range of sizes and allow more onboard flexibility than a RIB. For example, many
include lockers and have comfy chairs and generally they're more spacious. Powerboats are the more
comfortable option as passengers sit 'in' the boat, rather than 'on' the boat. Powerboats are also
popular racing boats and clubs around the South West arrange races in various powerboat classes.
