Ribcraft 6.8m Rigid Inflatable Boat – 2003 – Exceptionally Well Specified

This Ribcraft 6.8m is a serious, commercial-grade RIB renowned for its exceptional seakeeping, rugged construction, and impressive performance. Built to Ribcraft’s exacting standards, these boats are widely used by professional operators and safety services, making them a superb choice for those seeking confidence, durability, and offshore capability.

Presented in very good order, this example benefits from new industrial-quality Hypalon tubes fitted in 2023, finished in a smart blue and grey colour scheme. Ribcraft’s deep-V hull delivers a soft, dry ride even in challenging conditions, making this an ideal platform for leisure, watersports, diving, or coastal exploration.

Power comes from a Honda 225hp four-stroke outboard with just 300 hours from new, reflecting light recreational use. The engine has been well maintained and had summer 2025 service. Performance is brisk yet economical, with Honda’s renowned reliability and refinement.

The layout is both practical and versatile, featuring six jockey seats for secure, comfortable seating at speed. The aft seating can be easily reconfigured thanks to a removable two-person bench seat with rotating backrest, replacing the rear two jockey seats—perfect for relaxed cruising or socialising at anchor.

Additional highlights include:

Full overall cover
Garmin chart plotter
Garmin VHF radio
Fusion marine stereo system
LED lighting mounted on a frame
Twin-axle road trailer included
Wheel bearings replaced December 2025
Notably, the boat has never been antifouled, suggesting dry storage and careful ownership.

This Ribcraft 6.8 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a heavily built, professional-grade RIB with modern electronics, recent tubes, and a powerful low-hour engine—all ready to be enjoyed immediately.

Early viewing is highly recommended.

1987 Nelson 18 Motor Yacht – MOONSHINE

Asking Price: £9,950

MOONSHINE is a charming and well-presented example of the ever-popular Nelson 18, a classic British motor cruiser renowned for her robust build, seakindly manners and exceptional versatility. Originally built in 1987, she has clearly been a much-loved boat and benefits from extensive, documented maintenance and sympathetic upgrades over recent years.

Designed by Peter Thornycroft and built by Tyler Boats & Invicta Marine, the Nelson 18 has long been admired for her traditional Nelson heritage combined with practical, compact cruising. With her modest dimensions and shallow draft, MOONSHINE is ideally suited to rivers, estuaries and sheltered coastal waters. She can also be easily trailered behind a car (trailer not included), adding to her flexibility and appeal.

Powered by a reliable Volvo Penta MD2020 20hp diesel engine, she cruises economically at around 5 knots, with a Mariner 5hp outboard providing additional peace of mind. Her GRP hull and superstructure, complemented by a teak wheelhouse, give her a timeless, purposeful appearance.

Below decks, the accommodation is simple, clean and inviting. She offers comfortable overnight accommodation for two, with a double bunk fitted with new mattresses and covers. Recent interior upgrades include new cabin and wheelhouse floors and a beautifully crafted new mahogany raising table. A sea toilet and basin complete the practical cruising layout, making her perfectly suitable for weekends afloat.

Significant investment has been made by her current owner, with over £7,000 spent between 2019–2020 and a further £5,500 between 2021–2023. Notable improvements include a new canopy, solar panel and regulator, 240V shore power with galvanic isolator, and numerous cosmetic and structural enhancements that ensure she is presented in very good order for her age.

MOONSHINE is currently afloat at Emsworth Yacht Harbour, within the beautiful Chichester Harbour, an ideal cruising ground to fully appreciate everything this delightful Nelson has to offer.

A well-sorted and attractively priced example of a classic small motor yacht, MOONSHINE represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking traditional character, proven design and economical cruising in a manageable package. Early viewing is highly recommended.
