Escape Boat Club

Life's better on the water.

Book a maintained RIB whenever you like — without the cost, hassle, or commitment of ownership.

RYA-certified skippers welcome. No credit required.

The water, without the headaches

Ownership is expensive

A quality RIB costs six figures to buy — and that's before berth fees, maintenance, insurance, and winter storage.

Charter is unreliable

Ad-hoc charter hire gets expensive fast and offers no guaranteed availability when you actually want to go.

The paperwork never ends

Managing safety compliance, annual surveys, and insurance renewals takes time most people don't have.
