ABOUT US
Built in Britain. Respected Worldwide.
Since 2003, Rib-X has been at the forefront of British boatbuilding, designing and manufacturing RIBs and open tenders across the leisure and superyacht industry.
Relaunched under Vortec Marine, we bring together heritage craftsmanship and advanced engineering to deliver boats trusted across superyacht, defence, commercial, and leisure sectors.
We don’t just build boats, we build lifelong relationships. Our dedicated team of designers, engineers, and craftspeople become true partners to every client. From your first concept meeting to sea trials, delivery, and beyond, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Whether you’re upgrading, refitting, or commissioning a new build, Rib-X delivers unmatched service, technical innovation, and honest British workmanship.
Rib-X is led by Ross Collingwood and Richard Burlingham and powered by a tight-knit crew of maritime experts who live and breathe boats. Our team has worked with some of the world’s most prestigious superyachts and understands what true partnership means. We are boatbuilders in the truest sense.
