Yamaha Ribeye - new inflatable models

The new Ribeye T-Series: A unique new range of 12 RIB Tenders for up to nine persons, built using epoxy powder-coated all-aluminium hulls. The boats, from 2.4 to 4.8m overall length, have been developed and designed by Ribeye for use with a selected range of Yamaha four-stroke outboards, giving customised packages to suit most needs.

A Series - the ideal family boat
These Ribeyes have “fun” written all over them. Ideal for beach hopping, skiing, exploring, fishing, swimming, snorkelling, or just sun bathing. They are a favourite for every occasion. The A Series have a genuine deep ‘V’ load-carrying hull, designed to cut through and cushion the impact of the waves, giving a smooth comfortable ride. The smaller models in the A Series are unique in having a deep V hull as most RIBs of this size have shallow hulls. Like all Ribeyes they handle superbly and are easy to manoeuvre at any speed. The A Series are quick on the plane even when fully loaded.

Ideal suitability for beaching roles
What especially singles out the T-Series Ribeye Tenders, with their white aluminium hulls, is their ideal suitability for beaching roles, typical for long-term tender use. Such smaller boats are much more likely to be dragged onto beaches or slipways where gravel, shingle and hard surfaces can be less than friendly to GRP hulls, which can be prone to deep scratching and the wear and tear of frequent abrasion. Aluminium hulls will take the punishment year after year. The A Series are practical and safe. They offer a very dry ride and is reassuring and forgiving to drive. It is the ideal boat for the first time RIB owner with limited experience. The integral moulded deck provides a stable platform, with its tough easy to clean, slip-resistant finish.
