After 16 years of offering a shared boat ownership scheme with highly spec’d top-of-the-range RIBs, Solent-based RIB Shack Marine have now added the Axopar 28 Cabin to their ever-expanding fleet. With two boats fully sold and a third arriving in July, RIB Shack are delighted with the response. The company believes that this scheme is the ideal way to help people get on the water for a fraction of the cost.
Colin Vine, director at RIB Shack, said: ‘We have for some time been looking at the next level up from the RIBs for both our potential and existing customers to grow into, and the Axopar 28 is perfect for that role. All our boats are highly configured, offering all the luxury and convenience to ensure a quality lifestyle for our customers.’
