Escape Boat Club
Book a maintained RIB whenever you like — without the cost, hassle, or commitment of ownership.
RYA-certified skippers welcome. No credit required.
A quality RIB costs six figures to buy — and that's before berth fees, maintenance, insurance, and winter storage.
Ad-hoc charter hire gets expensive fast and offers no guaranteed availability when you actually want to go.
Managing safety compliance, annual surveys, and insurance renewals takes time most people don't have.
