How Our RIB Retubing Process Works
Every retubing project begins with a detailed inspection of your boat’s current tube condition and structural integrity. Our team then carefully removes the worn tubes, prepares the hull surface, and installs new replacements — tailored for a precise, secure fit.
We work with premium materials like Hypalon and PVC, offering both OEM-standard tubes and fully customized options in your choice of color, design, and accessories. From bonding and sealing to finishing, every step is handled with marine-grade precision.
Whether your boat is built for leisure, rescue, or commercial use, our process ensures your RIB is fully restored, watertight, and ready to perform — for years to come.
