Passenger & Event RIBs.
Looking to charter or buy a RIB for passenger transport or your event? Novi Marine helps you select a suitable RIB for guests, artists and VIPs. We match the vessel, seating and operation to your waters, schedule and the experience on board.
Overview
RIBs for passenger transport and events
A passenger RIB brings people together on the water. From sightseeing and corporate boat trips to transfers and event transport, the boat is selected to suit your guests, route and purpose of the trip.
Novi Marine helps you charter or purchase a suitable RIB. We discuss passenger numbers, seating, boarding arrangements and conditions in your operating area. The layout can then be matched to your passenger service or event, with attention to comfort on board and the practical operation of the boat.

Frequently asked questions
Passenger and event RIB FAQs
How did Novi Marine use a RIB at Decibel Outdoor?
At Decibel Outdoor, a Novi Marine RIB became part of the transport operation for artists and VIPs. It provided transport by water, with sailing times, boarding points, passenger support and the event schedule coordinated in advance.
Which information determines the layout of a passenger RIB?
Passenger numbers are only one factor. Novi Marine also reviews journey duration, seating comfort, luggage, boarding arrangements, landing points and route conditions. These determine the model, seating plan and required deck space.
How is an event RIB integrated into a tight programme?
Sailing times are linked to arrival and departure slots, while boarding points and communication lines are agreed in advance. Artist and VIP transport also requires planning for guest support, luggage and a practical contingency.
Can Novi Marine supply a passenger RIB for permanent operation?
Yes. Charter is available for an event or season. For sightseeing, transfers or other recurring passenger services, Novi Marine also supports the purchase, model selection and configuration of an organisation’s own RIB.
