About The Ribeye T Series
Super light, super strong, super tough
Ribeye aluminium tenders are roomy, strong and robust, yet light and easy to transport. Unlike traditional RIBs, the T Series aluminium hull will take persistent punishment year after year, making it ideal for frequent, long-term tender use.
Life’s a beach
With its aluminium hull, the T Series is ideally suited for beaching roles. These smaller boats can be dragged onto beaches or slipways where gravel, shingle and hard surfaces can be less than friendly to GRP hulls which can be prone to deep scratching and the wear and tear of frequent abrasion.
Take it with you anywhere
The smaller TL models can be transported easily on a roof rack or motor home roof and all TL models can be fitted with dinghy wheels for manoeuvring on slipways.
It’s easy being green
Aluminium is one of the most environmentally friendly metals in the world. What’s more, because it’s light, you need a smaller outboard with lower fuel consumption and emissions.
Worthy of your yacht
Because of their light weight, the TL range is a real alternative for those who may have chosen an inflatable in the past for getting to and from a larger boat but would prefer a hard hull.
The perfect tender
The T Series has been purpose built as the ultimate tender. All models may be davit hung, stowed on a passerelle or a swim platform, or towed astern. Davit lifting points, towing points and grab handles come as standard.
It’s all yours
Each Ribeye in the T Series may be sold as boat only or as a turnkey package with an engine, electronics, console and accessories. It’s your choice.
