Charter a RIB and enjoy the freedom of the water: fast, stable and easy to handle, perfect for exploring the coastline, island hopping or a day out with family and friends. The RIB charter options below help you match the boat to your outing and your experience.

A RIB charter for coastal days out and group outings

A RIB suits short coastal trips: leaving the harbour, heading for a sheltered cove or reaching nearby islands. Compared with most boat rentals, it combines good speed with a stable deck for passengers.

Groups, clubs and corporate teams can also use a RIB for a shared day at sea. Tell Marçon Yachting how many people are coming so the boat matches the size of your group.

Choosing your RIB: bareboat or skippered

Bareboat RIB charter

With a bareboat RIB hire, you take the helm yourself. This option suits people who already handle a powerboat confidently, and the licence and experience required should be confirmed when you book.

Skippered boat hire

Skippered boat hire puts a skipper at the helm, so you can enjoy the trip without navigating. Depending on the conditions you sail in, it can also be the calmer choice for a mixed group. Check with Marçon Yachting which hire options are available on your dates.

RIB hire prices and points to confirm

Worth keeping an eye on: charter terms vary, so ask for these details before you book.

• RIB hire prices: the starting price, the duration and the deposit
• Fuel: whether it is included or charged after the trip
• Engine and equipment: power, plotter and safety gear on board
• Weather policy and cancellation terms
