Whether it’s wakeboarding, water-skiing, fishing, diving or day tripping – we are renown for our exceptionally crafted Outboard RIBs.

Ranging in size from 4m right up to 7.8m you can get out wide on your next ocean adventure, knowing family and friends are safe on board. Our RIBs are designed to discover inlets, harbours, bays and islands aplenty – with a good dose of action out on the water along the way.

Designed and hand built on a GRP composite hull, we offer a 5 year warranty on boat construction and fabric. Explorer’s exclusive use of Orca© Hypalon tubing ensures your boat is as resistant as it can be to UV damage, abrasion and everyday wear and tear. A comprehensive range of quality componentry and accessories are available to customise your RIB to suit your specific requirements.

What’s more, we’ve tested each of our RIBs out on the water with our own families and trust their ability to get you to shore safely and comfortably when the going gets rough.
