Ribcraft score Thames hat-trick
Share this post
When top London attraction Thames River Experience wanted a third RIB to join their growing fleet of bright-yellow craft on the River Thames, they knew exactly who to contact. British UK manufacturers Ribcraft have recently delivered the third of their commercial-passenger-carrying RIBs which, like the two previous craft supplied to the company, is 11 m in length and was designed to suit the specific requirements of Thames River Experience.
This meant paying particular attention to the foredeck boarding platform, which was designed to fit the V-docks built into the piers along the Thames Embankment. Once the bow was designed, the seating, conn and A-frame followed suit. Power supply was another important consideration as Thames regulations ruled out a petrol option, and so diesel sterndrives were installed, and a Yamaha with twin counterrotating props was the selected engine option.
The Thames River Experience offers visitors and tourists several great options, from sightseeing trips taking in iconic London landmarks along the river to specially themed trips, including a James Bond experience complete with Bond music and a tour of the Thames relating to the Bond books and films.
