Questions about RIB prices

How much does a used RIB cost?

Across 724 used RIBs (or rigid inflatable boats) listed since Aug 2020, most of them in the UK and Europe, the median asking price is £39,500 in today's prices; the middle half ask £22,500–£79,000. These are asking prices, not sold prices.

How much is a 20 ft RIB?

A 20 ft RIB is about 6.1 m long. RIBs from 6 to 8 m (20–26 ft) have a median asking price of £41,000, and the middle half of the 276 we have observed ask £30,500–£58,500. Age, engines and equipment move a single boat's price further than length alone.

What do used RIBs cost by length?

Under 6 m (under 20 ft), a median £18,000 and a middle half of £11,000–£29,000; from 6 to 8 m (20–26 ft), a median £41,000 and a middle half of £30,500–£58,500; 8 m and over (26 ft and over), a median £180,000 and a middle half of £97,500–£348,000. Each figure is the asking prices of every boat in that band, in today's prices.

Are RIB prices falling?

No, they are level. RIBs of the same model and age ask about the same as a year ago. 26% of those we have followed for at least two weeks have cut their asking price.

How much do RIBs depreciate?

All RIBs together lose about 7.0% of their asking price for each year of age. We measure it between boats of the same model built in different years, with asking prices in today's terms.

Which RIBs hold their value best?

Of the builders with enough boats to rank, Ribeye and Capelli lose the least: about 5.5% and 6.2% of their asking price a year of age, against 7.0% for all RIBs. Highfield Boats loses the most, at 8.4%.

Which used RIBs are most common?

The models we see listed most are the Capelli Tempest 900 WA (22 boats, median £79,500), the Sacs Rebel 47 (19 boats, median £716,000), the Williams Jet Tenders Turbojet 285 (19 boats, median £12,000), the Capelli Tempest 700 (17 boats, median £45,000) and the Sacs Strider 13 (16 boats, median £265,000).

Where are used RIBs listed?

Of the 724 boats we have observed, 52% are listed in the European market, 41% in the UK market and 7% in the US market. The market is where a boat is advertised, not always where it lies.
