Solent assisted RIB Charter
An assisted RIB Charter is perfect if you have a PB2 but not the experience required by our insurance company to rent as a bareboat RIB.
It’s also used by guests who are feeling a little rusty or apprehensive, are looking to gain more experience or are travelling on your own.
Please get in touch to enquire.
Why book an Assisted RIB Charter?
An assisted charter is perfect for people who would like to skipper themselves, but they either don’t have the experience required by our insurance company, or they would appreciate the guidance and peace of mind that comes with having a commercially endorsed skipper on board.
The skipper who will accompany you on your charter will be a qualified RYA Powerboat Instructor. We aren’t an RYA training centre, so you won’t leave the day with a qualification, but you will be picking up tips from those used to teaching the PB2 course.
You will be skippering the RIB and have a friendly ear to talk through what you are doing. Plus an extra set of hands for manoeuvres and to take the helm if you wish.
Book the RIB to come out on your own or with family and friends. Our RIBs can hold 7 people plus your skipper.
It’s your time on the water. It’s up to you whether you wish to spend your time sightseeing, refreshing yourself on boat manoeuvres or a bit of everything.
