ABOUT US
the ocean is in
Our DNA
Founded in 2024, Storm Marine has British military experience across three decades running through its DNA. This seagoing expertise drives us to build the very best boats - for you and the planet.
From roll up yacht tenders to expedition RIBs, we're committed to building the world's toughest inshore inflatable boats, that inspire and endure.
We’re determined to operate in a more responsible and transparent way. We believe that the best boats are those that last the longest and get used the most, so right from the start we made a commitment to minimise the use of single use, non degradable plastic and focus on aluminium and Hypalon RIBs and inflatables.
BETTER BOATS FOR YOU
AND THE PLANET
The world throws away around 300 million tons of plastic every year - nearly equivalent to the weight of the entire human population. Scientists predict there could be more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050.
The biggest impact we can have on our planet is to consume less and to consume better. This is at the heart of our business model - producing inflatable boats that are longer lasting and better for our planet when they've reached end of life. For these reasons, aluminium and Hypalon are our materials of choice.
It's also why our Trade In, Repair and Resell service is core to what we do - you can read more about our part exchange service and request a valuation against a new Storm RIB or inflatable here.
WORKING WITH
THE BEST PARTNERS
Most of our inflatables and all of our RIBs use Orca Hypalon for the tubes and Leafield valves.
Assembly of RIBs, engine rigging and fit out takes place in the UK and is carried out by our partners, Powertech Marine who have over 35 years of Formula 2 Powerboat racing experience, are world record holders and true masters of their craft.
The finest materials and expert partners combine to deliver RIBs and Inflatables for those who demand the best.
BUILDING
STRONGER BOATS
Inflatables are among the hardest working boats around, exposed to year round weather, beach landings and launches, plus endless close quarter manoeuvring that takes its toll on lesser built craft. We see Hypalon as offering superior durability to alternative tube materials, with strong resistance to chemicals, temperature extremes and UV light.
As you’d expect, we also cut no corners on our components, fixtures and deck hardware. Our tubes are complemented by the world’s finest valves - Leafield C7 valves and A6 pressure relief valves are standard across the full range. Nothing is overlooked in our quest for the ultimate performance inflatable - premium components, attention to detail, the latest technology and first class workmanship.
INSPIRED BY
OUR COMMUNITY
Lucky to count the Solent and Cornwall as the places where we live, work and play - our boats are built to serve those who spend their days on the sea alongside us - the sailors, divers and adventurers.
This marine community inspires us to create inflatables that we love to use ourselves, and are proud to supply others. Our sea going experience in demanding conditions defines the exact specifications for each range and we then ensure that each boat has been through rigorous testing and quality assurance before we sign off for production.
PROUD TO SUPPORT
