Combining a slick finish and high spec technology, with the care and attention that comes through hand moulding by craftsmen with impeccable pedigree. JP RIBS crafts bespoke vessels which display exceptional performance coupled with a smooth, efficient ride. Fully customisable, they are hand-crafted by a New Zealand boatbuilder and superyacht captain to combine world-leading performance with an in
dividual approach. From the subtropical north of New Zealand comes a bespoke performance vessel. Honed on the gulfs and bays of New Zealand's North Island, Phil Edgar and his son, Jonathan have an innate understanding of the ocean and the tools a vessel needs to conquer it. Phil has a lifetime of quality boat-builds to his name, including having built racing yachts and launches, as well as game-changing vessels. He broke records for the fastest diesel cruiser in the southern hemisphere in 1991 with his build; Pzazzz. After a move out to the family beach house, Phil began to unwind and relax - and had the time to sit with Jonathan and discuss the custom vessels they could create together as Jonathan urged Phil to bring his quality of workmanship back to the industry. Jonathan has been based in Europe for the past 15 years in his work as a superyacht captain. His time in the superyacht industry has informed the philosophy behind JP RIBS; bespoke, high-quality and custom vessels, finished to an exceptionally high standard.
