Here at Commercial Rib Charter we pride ourselves on having one of the best and most diverse commercial vessel fleets in Europe together with over twenty years of experience. In recent years we have expanded our fleet considerably and having responded to client requests and industry evolution’s, have a more wide-ranging fleet than you might think.
As of 2021 we have vessels from 4m to 20m LOA available to charter, with a range of propulsion systems, passenger capacities, engine sizes and vessel designs.
For a cost-effective solution our diesel vessels are usually cheaper and more efficient to run, especially over long distances. For a hybrid solution of fuel economy and speed, CRC Voyager, CRC Galaxy and CRC Lodestar are your answers, all capable of 25kts+ and with a combined fuel burn of approx. 120L p/h. Lodestar’s lightweight design and outdrive engines will also give a top speed of over 35kts.
If you’re after a more heavy duty solution with greater seagoing capability, our three catamarans fit the bill perfectly, each capable of comfortably carrying 12 passengers and with a combined deck area of more than 30 sq/m each. Our newest vessel, CRC Sentinel (currently in build), will have space on its aft deck for a container too, perfect for diving or survey projects.
Being shallow draft specialists, CRC naturally have a healthy range of jet boats to complement the fleet, most of which can safely operate in less than a meter of water – perfect for inshore and coastal projects such as cable landings and crew transfers to jack-up barges and multicats.
Finally, if you need a CRC vessel for guard, safety or patrol duties, you have a lot of choice – from our small fleet of 9m cabin Ribs with 140-250hp engines to one of our open Ribs, these can be mobilised quickly (within 24hrs) and can be provided with or without crew.
As ever, CRC are always happy to discuss making adjustments to each vessel to suit your plans, including designing and fitting survey poles and A-Frames, to custom made filming rigs and diving spreads.
