Our mission is simple: make high-quality boats as affordable and accessible as possible, for one private owner or a fleet of fifty.
Most of Europe's best-known RIB brands don't own the factory that builds their boats, but you pay as if they did. We partner directly with one of the largest and most experienced RIB shipyards, oversee production ourselves, and pass the difference on to you.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to own a reliable, well-crafted boat, whether for family weekends, sport, or commercial duty. That's why we sell to individual customers with no minimum order quantity, while offering serious discounts to bulk buyers: 5% from 10 boats, 10% above 100.

When you buy a boat from Aquaforth, these are the people looking after it, from first enquiry to final handover.
Samuel built Aquaforth around a conviction from his years in international trade: the quality gap between big-name RIBs and the factories that build them is far smaller than the price gap. He negotiates directly with the shipyard, walks the production floor several times a year, and personally reviews every inspection report before a boat is cleared to ship.
Cathy is our coordinator at the shipyard and the reason production updates arrive with photos, on schedule. She tracks every order through each stage and runs the pre-export checklist with our supervisor, catching any fabric batch or fitting issue before it reaches a boat.
Felix books the sea freight, prepares export and import documentation, and coordinates our freight and customs partners. He watches every container from loading to your destination port and keeps your live tracking up to date.
David is our inspector at the yard. Before any boat is crated he works through a detailed checklist, tubes, seams, hull, systems and finish, and documents it with the photos you receive. Nothing ships until it passes.
Philippe manages the last stretch: customs release at the destination port, onward transport and the handover. He is your contact for arrival timing and makes sure the boat reaches you ready for the water.
Élise handles the immatriculation and paperwork so you do not have to, and stays your point of contact after handover, for parts, questions and warranty coordination.
Our manufacturing partner has been building rigid inflatable boats for over 11 years, more than 50'000 to date, including production for well-known European brands. Under our HEDIA™ programme, the same lines, materials and craftsmen build exclusively to Aquaforth specifications.
Aquaforth is the official EU distributor working in close partnership with the shipyard in Weihai. Every AQUAFORTH order is built from the materials we specify, Orca® Hypalon™ or reinforced 1.2 mm PVC tubes, AlMg5 marine aluminium or GRP hulls, precision-engineered steering, on dedicated HEDIA™ production slots.
Beyond our own team, we work with established freight, customs, inspection and registration partners, so your boat moves smoothly from the shipyard to your marina. Roles handled for you include:
Clearance, duties and paperwork coordinated at your destination port.
Independent pre-delivery survey in addition to our own supervisor.
Flag, hull identification and registration documents prepared for you.
Container booking, export handling and live shipment tracking.
