“INNOVATION IS ABOUT IMPROVING WHAT’S BOTHERING YOU. FOR ME: VULNERABLE BOAT MATERIALS IN ROUGH ENVIRONMENTS. THAT BOTHERED ME, TREMENDOUSLY.”

NEW: CABIN PILOT BOAT.
Together with our customer ‘Brabo Antwerp; pilots and boatmen’ we have developed a cabin version of our proven RBB 800 WJ hull. We’ll launch this new evolution version as the HDPE RBB 800 WJ Cabin Pilot Boat. Equipped with a closed cabin for 4-6 persons, this boat can be operated all year around in arctic and tropical conditions. The crew is sitting on high quality suspension seats. The cabin is comfortably provided with heating or air-conditioning. The main usage is as crew tender, pilot boat, survey boat or stand by patrol vessel.
Depending on personal preference, local circumstances and conditions, there are two possible propulsions available: This boat is available with diesel water jet and sterndrive or twin outboard engines. Cruise speed of 30 knots and typically for coastal, riverine and estuary waters. With 4 lifting slings the boat can be easily hoisted on deck of the mother vessel. Bureau Veritas design approval is available upon request.Transport and storage is easy as this boat is trailer able and still fits inside a 40’ HC.

‘SMALL BUT POWERFULL’: RBB 550 OB
This little workhorse, the RBB 550 OB, is now available with 50hp diesel outboard, 70hp petrol outboard or 20hp electric outboard. It is the smallest high speed vessel in our range and can be used as dinghy and support boat. We always have stock available waiting for your order!
SERIOUS TEST TIDEMAN BOATS!
Our indestructible boats drew the attention of the Dutch army. This interest resulted in a serious heavy test program. So last autumn our boats have been tested by our friends of the Royal Dutch Marine Corps. The test results are available upon request. Please don’t hesitate to contact us. We think we can be proud of the results and we like to inform you, without any obligations.
