Dolphin
Watching Boat Algarve Portugal
What is a
dolphin watching RIB? RIB stands
for "rigid inflatable boat". Similarly,
RHIB stands for "rigid hull inflatable boat". Both can be
thought of as powerboats fitted with inflatable collars.
Because of their hybrid construction, RIBs are almost
unsinkable and, as such, can withstand the toughest maritime
conditions.

RIBs are used by the military as patrol boats , by coast
guards as rescue boats and by oil companies as staff
transport to and from offshore oil platforms. They are also
used by Greenpeace to marshal the planet's oceans.
Dolphin Boat Vilamoura Algarve
Portugal
Our Algarve dolphin watching boats are high
speed RIBs that have been constructed to the highest
standards. They are all MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency)
approved and enable us to move you quickly and safely
between areas of dolphin activity in the Atlantic
ocean off of the Algarve coast
near Vilamoura. Although these boats are
capable of high speeds, they are extremely stable; the ride
they give is extremely comfortable and dry!.
