From rubber duck to Advanced Rescue Boat Initially underrated in some countries, referred to as “rubber ducks” and not considered to be proper boats, the development of rigid inflatable boats or RIBs over the last 30 years has been an unprecedented success in the naval and nautical industry, underpinned by their unrivalled versatility for a multitude of uses, in particular for search and rescue operations. Today they are considered to be the Rescue Boat par excellence for all kinds of activities both on the sea and on inland waters.
