About RIB Club
No. RIB Club is a members-only boat club. We do not offer public or day rentals, and member access always comes first.
It means you enjoy the benefits of owning a boat — access, familiarity, and freedom — without the cost, admin, or long-term commitment that ownership requires.
RIB Club is designed for people who value reliability, fairness, and quality. Many of our members are second-home owners, resident expats, families, and experienced boaters who want boating to feel simple and well managed.
Using the Boats
Members typically go out 10–15 times per year, though some use the boats more and some less. There’s no fixed usage cap — access is managed through fair booking rules rather than hard limits.
You can boat as often as suits your lifestyle, within a booking system designed to protect availability for all members. This ensures fair access, especially during busy periods.
Yes. Members can use the boats for anything from a quick couple of hours to a full day, from sunrise to sunset.
Bookings & Fair Use
Bookings are managed through the members app. From 2026, members can hold two planned booking days at any time, giving greater flexibility to plan ahead.
Booking rules exist to ensure fairness and availability for everyone. They prevent overuse by a small number of members and help keep the club running smoothly.
Standards & Responsibilities
Members are expected to treat boats with care and respect. Clear check-in and check-out processes help protect both members and the club.
Yes. Behaviour that puts people, boats, or the club at risk — including unsafe boating, drugs, or excessive alcohol use — is not tolerated.
Families & Experience
Yes. Many members are families, and safety and ease of use are core to how the club operates.
Many members are experienced boaters, but experience isn’t essential. Training and licensing are available through RIB Club for those who need it.
