RescueONE® 228 RIB

The RescueONE® 228 RIB™ is designed for big water that gets ROUGH!

Users have been asking for a tough boat for rough water and here it is.  The 228 RIB™ is the first and smallest of three sizes, a 22’, 26’, and a 29-footer with twin 250hp outboards.  

Veteran offshore boater and first responder, and RescueONE dealer, Jeff McVay, put it this way,

 “With this new RescueONE® 228 RIB, they've outdone themselves once again, with the rugged durability of an aluminum hull with cutting-edge design they’ve created a vessel that's ready to tackle any challenge, in any rough water, with ease”.

 The RescueONE® 228 RIB™ is built for us by HIGHFIELD, headquartered in Cadillac, Michigan.  They also make the number one, best-selling inflatables in the US.

It was designed to be a hardcore work boat for first responders.

The hull is built from 3/16” thick marine alloy aluminum (not fiberglass) with deep, 26-degree vee, wide chines, and large diameter ORCA® premium Hypalon® tubes.  The boat has high maneuverability and a soft dry ride even in the roughest conditions.

It is designed to carry large loads and planes quickly and easily with as low as 115hp engines and is ready for hot pursuits with an optional 200hp.  These boats can be configured with different seating and console options.  When safety, toughness & reliability matter, we don’t think you can beat our 228 RIB™.
