The Piranha Difference
Construction and Development
Our Ribs are produced using the highest quality materials and methods to ensure that our products meet the high demands that are asked of them.
We have spent over 3 years sourcing and developing a relationship with our manufacturers who produce our ribs. This ensures the quality of build whilst keeping the costs to a minimum so that we can pass this on to you, the customer.
We are so confident in our products that we give a minimum of a 3 year warranty on the tubes and hull.
The Far East is fast becoming recognised for producing many top names in the Rigid Inflatable Boat Industry.
Some of our key construction methods:
- Design and construction approval - Bellaria, Italy. Fully CE approved.
- Piratex - 1.2mm Denier Polyester fabric coated with PVC for longevity, 3 year warranty.
- Orca Hypalon - 4 layers of calendered sheets, 5 year warranty.
- Ply deck core replaced with PVC foam to provide a lighter, more waterproof base, 3 year warranty (on most models).
- Seams reinforced with 4 layers for strength.
- Vacuum formed hulls - tighter more waterproof construction method with less material waste.
- Accessible inboard fuel tank (on most models).
Commissioning and Handover - Hayling Island
Our facilities at Sparkes Marina allows us to undertake all of the commissioning of our ribs. This part of the procedure gives us the opportunity ensure the product is 100% before handover.
