Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs)
Rigid-inflatable boats (RIBs), also known as hard-bottom inflatables, always utilize rigid hulls, such as fiberglass or Aluminum. Inflatable tubes, or "collars," are fitted to the top of the rigid hulls to create rigid inflatable boats. RIBs are generally considered hybrid vessels that combine the benefits of traditional powerboats and inflatables.
