Americas Cup team looking to charter a RIB in Plymouth

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you could help me on this.. I am working with an Americas Cup team and we will be in Plymouth needing to charter a RIB from the 1st September till the 19th September.

If possible we need something around 9m with twin engines. I would be grateful for any leads..

Many thanks for your help...

Don't think there is anybody in Plymouth with a boat that meets your criteria.

However Plymouth Powerboat School have boats that size with single 225 Honda's on the back. All about a year old, often less.

Give them a try using the links C2 Rib has posted.

Did a course there in April, very impressed
Used my Rib but they had several 7M boats with twin Honda 90'S.

For an 18 day charter i'd be looking for the right boat and then relocating it.

Must be some big twin engine stuff around?
