Popular Charter Rib

Solent Rib 690 
The Solent Rib 690 has proven to be a popular rib with individual and company charter companies. Often the 650 is just a little to small for taking customers out on charter, but the 750 is too big for a novice to handle on a RYA training session. This is where the 690 proves to be the ideal solution. In the rib shown here the customer has moved the front console to the rear of the rib maximizing the seating and space available on the rib.  

 

The overall length is 6.9m, with an internal beam 1.5m and overall beam 2.4m The Solent Rib 690 has proven popular with customers who require greater space with their ribs. As shown on these pictures this rib can comfortably seat 10. These ribs have a CE rating up to 250hp and can achieve speeds in excess of 65mph. The extra length of this boat gives a noticeably smoother ride at speed and makes an excellent rib to accommodate an inboard diesel. By developing the layout of this rib the console can be located at the rear of the rib. The seats can be removable so the rib can be used for charter work, load carrying work (diving equipment), or with the clear deck space for First Aid requirements. The boat has been successfully coded for local charter work. The width of the rib means that it is legal to tow on British highways allowing access to different launch sites.
