The RIB Rendezvous is just around the corner - and it’s nearly time to head north.

From fast runs and hidden anchorages to great food, music and those moments you only get out on the water, it’s shaping up to be another brilliant weekend on Scotland’s west coast.

We’re proud to be a major sponsor this year and can’t wait to see boats arriving from all over the UK and Ireland.

If you’re getting ready to set off, now’s a good moment for those final checks - fuel, batteries, cooling systems, safety equipment and controls. The small things that make a big difference once you’re out there.

Safe travels to everyone making the journey - we’ll see you in Oban.

We're just a week out from RIB Rendezvous 2026!

Set to be one of the largest gatherings of RIB in the world, we're so pleased that this event has drawn such a following and sponsorship from renowned brands here in the UK.

Tony and Jess Hill from Seafari Adventures (Oban) originally brought the idea of RIB Rendezvous to life, and without their early vision, this gathering wouldn't exist, so we thank them and look forward to welcoming them back as participants.
