Have you ever wanted to get away to paradise? Well one man certainly can, the Virgin entrepreneur Richard Branson, a Ballistic RIBs customer, can jet off to his British Virgin Islands retreat Necker Island and have a quick ride on his 2 Ballistic RIBs that he has at the island, he is also planned to have even more RIBs destined for his new, luxury, eco-friendly Mosquito Island resort, alright for some isn’t it

However, you can share in this luxury because you can rent Necker Island for weddings, relaxation breaks, sports vacations and even complete rentals for any use!

Necker Island

JBT Marine are going to the Verve Clicquet Cowdray Park Gold Cup Polo Final again this year for the 4th year in a row, and they are bringing their RIBs, each year they take a 5.5m, 6.5m and a 7.8m Ballisitc RIBs, although all of the RIBs are on trailer they will let you climb a ladder and take a look around each one.

However, it’s not just the RIBs to see there, the Polo final day is well worth seeing, even if you don’t understand the rules of Polo, it’s a great match to watch.

The final day is on Sunday 20th of July, and if you do come, it’s recommended that you get there early to get a good picnic spot!

My friend took me out for my first RIB ride last weekend, I went out on his Cobra RIB, it was awesome!! He told me to go check out some RIBs and told me about JBTMarine, they have some great information about RIBs and the brands, they also have some new and second hand RIBs available to buy, here some great information I found about Cobra RIBs i thought I’d share.

Cobra Rigid Inflatable Boat

Cobra RIBS is one of the leading RIB boat brands in the UK, Cobra RIBS are sometimes referred as the Volvo Estate of the sea because they have a reputation for reliability, value for money, excellent performance and an extremely high quality of finish.

The first RIB made by Cobra was called the Picton Cobra rigid inflatable boat, this was mainly a commercial boat, however, the brand quickly realised the potential of RIBs in the family market.

At first the Cobra RIBs gained a a good reputation for their excellent build quality and sea keeping ability in the water. Once they created their first family RIB Cobra quickly developed a reputation for combining safety with speed.
