Ribtec 9m RIB

Ultra-Rare Ribtec 9m Camel Trophy Support RIB | Expedition Heritage | Refitted & Upgraded | Collector-Grade

If you’re after a RIB that’s not just another grey hull on the water—but a serious offshore machine with history, pedigree, and the capability to match—this Ribtec 9m demands your attention.

Built by one of the UK’s most respected RIB manufacturers, Ribtec has long been the brand of choice for military, commercial, and superyacht use. Known for their rugged build and no-nonsense performance, these boats are engineered for the toughest conditions.

This specific 9-meter model is one of just four ever produced, with two originally commissioned as official Camel Trophy support boats—trusted to handle extreme river, coastal, and offshore expeditions under the harshest conditions. This is more than a RIB; it’s a piece of adventure heritage.

Why It Outclasses the Competition

While the market is flush with 8–9m RIBs—like the Cobra Nautique 8.6, Zodiac Pro 850, or Ballistic 7.8—none offer the combination of history, refit, and advanced electronics found here. Comparable boats rarely include a full navigation suite, professional repaint, re-tubing, and low hours—much less Camel Trophy pedigree.
