This RIB Is Built to Break. It Just Won’t. The Ribeye Promise
The Crew’s Choice: A Tender for the Serious Mariner
In the world of superyachts, a tender is not just a toy or an accessory; it is a critical piece of equipment that a captain and crew rely on daily. At the Monaco Yacht Show, Ribeye is making a deliberate statement about this reality. As a British company with a 27-year legacy, Ribeye has built its reputation on offshore capability, rugged engineering, and the trust of the very professionals who operate these vessels. Their presence at MYS is a clear signal that they are not just in the business of making pretty boats, but of building serious tools for serious mariners.
The British Bulldog: A Tender Built for the Grind
Ribeye’s grit is forged in Dartmouth, Great Britain, where their highly engineered tenders undergo stringent testing in some of the toughest sea states. The company has invested heavily in cutting-edge composite technology and an infusion process that results in superior strength-to-weight ratios. This is the foundation of their “unbreakable” reputation. Ribeye tenders are built to withstand the dynamic stresses of high-speed offshore use while maintaining a level of finish that matches their mothership. This focus on durability and real-world performance is the core of their design philosophy.
The Ribeye Blueprint: A Design for the Crew
Ribeye’s approach to the tender is a masterclass in practical design. They don’t just build a boat; they create a total solution. Their project coordinators work directly with captains and engineers, providing visual concepts and technical drawings that detail every aspect of the tender project. This collaboration extends to custom lift points and chocks, ensuring seamless integration into a yacht’s garage. The company also equips crews with clear wiring diagrams and manuals, and offers 24-hour customer support via telephone and email, proving that their commitment to a product lasts long after the sale.
Beyond the Sale: The Aftermarket Advantage
In the world of global yachting, a tender is only as good as the service that supports it. Ribeye understands this. They offer an after-sales service that is a source of pride, including virtual and video support for any technical query. This dedication to customer satisfaction has earned them a global reputation as the RIB tender specialists, with an extensive list of repeat clients. This is a critical factor for captains and chief engineers who need to keep their vessels running perfectly, knowing that help is always just a phone call away, no matter where they are in the world.
The Verdict: Where Reliability Meets the Water
Ribeye’s presence at the Monaco Yacht Show is a testament to what a company built on quality and service can achieve. They are not just building tenders; they are building reliable, capable tools that have earned the trust of the industry’s most demanding professionals.
