We operate a catamaran hulled RHIB, many people comment that is should say RIB. The correct definition of a fibreglass hulled boat with an inflatable tube around it is : a Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB). The term RIB came from people, when hearing it pronounced, not realising that it was RHIB. The term RIB can also be used to hide the fact that the boat is just an inflatable boat without a rigid hull, i.e. a 'floppy' as they are called.
So, when booking a RIB, just make sure it is a RHIB and not a 'floppy'.
