Rebel Boat Works

https://www.waltsdesign.com/projects/rebel-boat-works

Rebel Boat Works is a US-based rigid inflatable boating (RIB) company new to the boating world. They have three different sizes of RIBs - the 4.5 meter, 6.5 meter, and the luxury 8 meters. Each model will have different levels of ruggedness. What differentiates Rebel from its competitors is the proven Irish hull - one of the best in the world. Starting price points for all of these boats will be key as they'll cost less than similar RIB boats without losing any quality. Outside of recreational use, Rebel will look to sell their RIBs to police and military (Navy Seals). Researching other comparable boating companies, the tagline Own the Water makes a bold statement in contrast with an otherwise dull RIB market landscape. Rebel's branding hits hard and shows they're an exciting new company ready to make some waves.
