Testimonial

What did WDMP think?

“Fantastic – We wanted to re-iterate how fantastic the Rib Treasure Hunt was that everyone at Solent Rib Charter organised for our summer company away day. The organisation was slick, the experience was perfect and the day was brilliantly structured. The BBQ at the yacht club after the event was spectacular. Can’t recommend this day enough, thanks again!”

At a glance

Rib Treasure Hunt

They chose one of Solent Rib Charter’s legendary Rib Treasure Hunts. Twenty two guests started the day in Lymington with breakfast on the balcony of the Haven Bistro overlooking the Island before boarding the Ribs to speed across the Solent.

Lunch on the Island

The fiendish Rib Treasure Hunt is competitive, stretching but most of all great fun and the group were definitely ready for a well deserved break and lunch ashore in Cowes – low key and informal in the Union Pub just yards from the marina.

A good finish

After lunch, back to the boats for more high adrenaline high jinx before a Pimms prize giving back in the Bistro at Lymington followed by a stunning BBQ at the Yacht Club.

These guys were brilliant. Would highly recommend them.

These guys were brilliant – both in helping to organise our trip for 40 scouts (many thanks Theo), and on the day: everyone was full of praise for rib skipper (Mike) for being relaxed and fun, but also super safe. Would highly recommend them. 30th Reigate Scouts.
Jonathan Gold

Skipper Jon on the day was great & always showed on time.

Very helpful with the passage plan and crafting the day ahead of time. Skipper Jon on the day was great, relaxed and always showed on time. Made for a wonderful day. The blast by The Needles was invigorating. We had two groups and a lovely lunch in Yarmouth.
David Chudleigh

I would strongly recommend Solent Rib Charter.

Fantastic Experience – Dealt with Jakob who was really helpful and efficient and had a brilliant day on the water. I would strongly recommend Solent Rib Charter and will definitely be using them again when I’m next in Lymington.
Tim Walkden

I'd absolutely 100% recommend these guys.

Chartered a bareboat RIB with Solent Rib Charter on the bank holiday weekend for a day out to the Isle of Wight. Absolutely top-notch customer service and I can’t overstate how helpful he was! I’d absolutely 100% recommend these guys.
Oliver Masters

Incredible company who at last minute were able to step in like heroes.

Incredible company who at last minute were able to step in like heroes when we were let down by another charter for my 40th Birthday (50 people from Lymington to The Hut and back!). If you want to book a RIB for any occasion, make sure you book with Solent Rib Charter!
Ben Peddie

Really nice people, with great kit and knowledge.

Rented a RIB from these guys which they brought down to Padstow. Boat in superb condition (their boats are used commercially and for leisure, so super well maintained). Summary: really nice people, with great kit and knowledge.

Another wildly successful client RIB day with the wonderful Solent RIB Charter.

Another wildly successful client RIB day with the wonderful Solent RIB Charter. Well organised with friendly and professional skippers, our clients had a brilliant time again on what is one of our most popular annual events, thanks to Jakob, Christian & the team!

From start to finish the process was seamless.

We selected Solent Rib Charter for a team incentive. From start to finish the process was seamless. They were really flexible and allowed for us to enjoy the sights and have a relaxed lunch in Cowes. It was a great day out.

The most professional Rib charter company you will ever come across!

The most professional Rib charter company you will ever come across! Immaculately maintained boats and professional skippers make them stand out from the rest. Highly recommended!
