At Airship, we are Passionate about Building, Developing the world's Most Technically Advanced RIB. Our rigid inflatable boats are developed for speed, control, durability, and real-world reliability in demanding marine conditions. Every Airship model reflects a single goal: build technically superior Rhib boats without compromising value.
The history, and base, of Airship Ribs began to take shape in the late summer and early fall of 2005. During that period three offshore powerboat racers entered into an agreement to start a boat building company. A unique opportunity was presented, building RIB’s. The idea was to use technology learned on the race circuit in build a high technology boat that still represented value by providing excellent quality at a fair price.
Airship builds high-performance RIB boats and rigid hull inflatable boats engineered with vacuum resin infusion, foam core construction, and offshore-proven hull geometry. Each model delivers a balance of strength, speed, and long-term durability while offering extensive configuration options.

Airship RHIB boats are engineered to perform confidently across:
Whether navigating calm water or challenging offshore conditions, our rigid inflatable boats deliver controlled power, smooth ride quality, and operational confidence.
Every Airship RHIB boat reflects disciplined marine craftsmanship. Our construction includes:
These engineering principles allow our RIB boats to maintain stability and durability even under high-performance marine conditions.
Choosing the right rigid hull inflatable boat means investing in safety, performance, and longevity. Airship delivers all three through disciplined engineering and race-proven design principles.
Built using knowledge gained from offshore racing, our RIB boats deliver sharp acceleration, stable tracking, and confident high-speed handling.
Reinforced hull structures and carefully designed load-bearing areas provide structural integrity under demanding use.
High-quality inflatable collars increase buoyancy, improve balance, and enhance impact absorption in rough conditions.
Precision hull geometry and balanced weight distribution provide controlled steering response at speed.
Advanced construction techniques ensure long-term durability without unnecessary cost inflation.
Every Airship RHIB boat reflects disciplined craftsmanship and attention to structural detail. From hull construction to console layout, each component is designed with the end user in mind.
🟠 Precision lamination processes
🟠 Structural reinforcement in key stress areas
🟠 Clean rigging and practical deck layouts
🟠 Durable materials suited to marine environments
We believe advanced technology should also represent value. That means delivering exceptional build quality at a fair and competitive price while maintaining the performance standards expected from premium rigid inflatable boats.
There is no difference between a RIB boat and a rigid hull inflatable boat. Both terms describe a boat with a solid fiberglass hull and inflatable tubes that provide added buoyancy, stability, and shock absorption.
Yes, rigid inflatable boats perform well in ocean conditions. Their deep V hull handles waves efficiently, while inflatable tubes improve stability and flotation, making them suitable for offshore cruising and rough water use.
Rigid hull inflatable boats typically reach speeds between 35 and 70 mph depending on size and engine power. Larger performance RIB boats with twin engines can exceed 60 mph in proper conditions.
Maintain rigid inflatable boats by rinsing with fresh water, inspecting tube pressure, and servicing the engine regularly. Store the boat covered on a trailer or lift to protect it from sun damage and moisture.
The weight capacity of a RIB boat depends on its length and buoyancy design. Smaller models carry 4 to 6 passengers, while larger rigid inflatable boats can safely support 10 or more people.
RIB boats require standard vessel registration in most regions. Licensing depends on engine horsepower and local regulations, so operators should confirm boating laws before operating a rigid inflatable boat.
Airship is committed to building rigid inflatable boats that raise the standard across the industry. Our focus on innovation, engineering precision, and real-world performance drives every design decision. If you are looking for high-performance RIB boats that combine racing heritage with modern construction, Airship delivers strength, control, and reliability in every model.
