Explorer Marine was established in 1989 to manufacture high quality power boats for the commercial, rescue, dive and leisure markets. We manufacture and retail five distinct ranges of Rigid Inflatable Boats - RIBs - to suit the needs of a wide range of users. The Explorer ranges are the Explorer SPORTS for general leisure use, Explorer DIVE for divers and charter boat operators, Explorer JETRIB when a petrol or diesel waterjet is required, the WORKBOAT range for specialised harbour duties and commercial operations, and the Explorer XTREME for those wishing to achieve the maximum speeds in offshore conditions, or for extreme wakeboarding where the large wake is required.

Our design principles are not necessarily to follow the industry trends, but to develop innovative features, some individually developed for one customer, which provide valid customer benefits. Explorer boats thus provide amazing stability, dynamically or at rest, yet complete the task for which they were designed, even at speeds up to 75 mph.

The Explorer Marine offices are at Cullompton in Devon and the main manufacturing workshops are near Rock in Cornwall. The office there overlooks the North Cornwall coast, which allows us to view the sea conditions, giving the opportunity for boat trials in the Camel estuary at Rock and Padstow and out past the Doom Bar to the more challenging Atlantic waters off the rugged North Cornwall coast.

Explorer Marine RIBs start at 4.0 metres and range in size up to the top DIVE and XTREME models at over 10 metres. All share the distinctively flared bow which reduces spray, whilst the broad beam gives amazing stability and handling.

Explorer Marine also supply GRP and polypropylene tenders and rowing boats from 2.25 to 3.0 metres.
