Looks very different to the other ribs I have seen from Aquaflyte

My team and I have taken over Aquaflyte and are hand building them in South Devon. The boats are made by people highly experienced in manufacturing with composite materials. We are encouraging customers to have an input into the design of their new boat and they can also come to our premises and have a hand in building their own hull. The boats are category B rated. Aquaflyte are currently offering 6 - 9 metre boats.

We expect to launch a newly designed commercial specification cabin RIB in the new year.

not as expensive as you might think
tubes have been raised in the bows and slightly tapered hence the reason it looks different from original aquaflytes

Nice one good Luck with the new project, web site is work in progress?

[Aquaflyte]

Hi Nick

Thank you.

The website is new and is still being added to. It only went live on friday - lots of work to do yet.

We have produced quite a few boats so far this year two of which were support boats for Spindrift France - quite a nice project.

Good luck! Glad to see Aquaflyte in production again.

[Aquaflyte]

Hi Cookee

Thank you.

[Maximus]

Yep! Good Luck with the New Venture!

This is honestly not a dig as I really like the look on those pictures but I always thought aquaflyte hull were quite shallow v??

Those pics look great! Look forward to seeing one in the flesh!

[Aquaflyte]

Hi Zippy

The hull has been designed with a mid v and we have added the raised bow to cope with heavy seas. i have fitted a 250hp Optimax that pushes the boat along at 55 knots we think that we could have gotten away with a 200hp we have completed all of the necessary tests and achived cat B from 6 - 9 metres. If you are ever planning a trip to Totnes please let me know and we would be more than happy to take you out on one.

John

[Zippy]

Thanks John.

As I say, really like the look! 55 kts is not too shabby!
