Onboard RIBs Ltd

We had a great 45 minute trip yesterday with our 2 kids (age 7 & 9). We were well looked after and our knowledgeable captain made sure the kids were happy throughout.Highly recommend, it was great fun and interesting. Be prepared that you will get a bit wet from the spray though!

Very good love the boat love the trip nice crew

Great time on the Solent with Onboard Ribs. Explored the Solent forts, and the coast of the IOW. Observed new aircraft carrier leaving the docks too. Easy to book and great prices.

Great trip out. We chartered at a fair price for a 3 hour trip with a stop in Cowes. Immaculate RIB, Kevin is a friendly skipper with lots of local knowledge. We were lucky with the weather and plenty to see in and out of the harbour. Well recommended for a good day out with family, friends or colleagues.

Absolutely fantastic experience. We did the 30 minute ride and enjoyed it immensely. Seeing all the forts and the buzz of the speed inbetween was excellent. Can't wait to come back and do the 40 minute trip!So sorry I accidentally selected two stars to start with. My mistake!

My girlfriend & I booked this experience a few weeks back once I managed to drag her away from the shops.The skipper was a very pleasant man & what a thrill the powerboat was. Beautiful views around the coastline of the IOW. Th3 boat is very comfortable too & doesn’t half shift. Excellent! We will be booking again with our respective children on board in the very near future as they will live it.Great value too.

Fantastic 30min blast around the Solent.Very, very reasonably priced for such an experience. Never mind the shopping, this really is the No1 attraction at Gunwharf quays. The whole experience was an absolute charm. Thanks to the crew for a great time. A whole range of charter's and excursions are available, can't recommend enough.

Brilliant rib ride, expertly driven by Tim, highly recommended, we didn't want the trip to end.

We booked, and turned up for a one hour private rib experience for 10 people for a 40th birthday do. We had travelled down from London. On arriving we were a bit early, and we're told to come back nearer our booked time (13:30 on a Saturday).We returned on time, and was kitted up straight away with life jackets. All good.It was at this point we were told our skipper was delayed, but he should be with us soon. They weren't sure the exact length of the delay.After waiting for over half an hour we contacted the manager/owner (Kevin) who was extremely unhelpful and rude on the phone. He said he couldn't do anything or provide anything further, including information.We were left just waiting in direct sunlight for a skipper who may or may not turn upEventually at 14:34 the skipper showed up, over an hour late. No apology. Just said traffic was bad.We were seriously frustrated before we even started our experience. On asking the skipper, he was under the impression our booking was at 14:00.The skipper took us out on the water but brought us back by 15:12, as he had another group who had been waiting 15 minutes. What about our hour delay? And how come we spent only about half hour for ah hour booking on the water.We complained and eventually the skipper said he would talk to Kevin (owner?) about taking us out again after the other group. He did this, and it was agreed, and did happen. We were grateful for this.The fun experience on the water was great.But the whole overall experience was seriously impacted by terrible customer service, and communication.If you are looking for a rib experience, don't take the chance, look elsewhere.

Great fun. Ollie was our captain and even my partner who is not good with the sea enjoyed it and would do it again
