Ribcraft 585 RIB Charter and Hire
Our RIB RIBcraft 5.85 with 135hp Mariner outboard engine, driven by Duck-2-Water’s expert qualified skipper, can take you at breathtaking speeds around the Solent, and into little creeks and inlets that are inaccessible to larger craft.
The Ribcraft 5.85 is a true offshore RIB charter capable of handling the most inhospitable sea conditions. Her high sheer bow, deep-vee hull and full-length spray rails give exceptional stability in rough weather whilst keeping the bow high in swells and heavy chop.
The Ribcraft 5.85 is capable of extended long-distance cruising, her fuel tanks are located under-deck, maximising the console space and lowering the centre of gravity thus improving trim and handling. Using stainless steel under-deck fuel tanks enables the Ribcraft to squeeze an impressive 40 gallons of fuel onboard, giving her long endurance times at sea.
Specification:
135HP Mariner Outboard Engine
Speeds of up to 45 Knots
180 Litre Fuel tank

Paul Drake runs a top notch operation that will see you qualified to rent any power boat under 10m in the UK and many other countries. The permit that my wife and I completed will certainly open a new coastal world to us. We can highly recommend doing your PB2 or more skilled and technical day skipper’s license with Duck2water. Patience, comfort, knowledge, a sense of humour as well as accommodating are virtues that Paul exemplified and we greatly appreciated. The equipment seemed very good, which helped build our confidence. Look no further when it’s time to get RYA accredited.
Bit of a late review as I did my Powerboat Level 2 course over a year ago and forgot to leave a review! Brian led our course, and having done a number of RYA courses over the years, I found him to be the best instructor I have ever had, knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging and very witty! Facilities, boat and materials very good. Can't recommend enough!
Fantastic days training from start to finish. Warm welcome and hot drinks to start, thorough content and hands on training, finished with in-depth explanation of the exam. Exam in comfy and relax environment.
