“How to buy a RIB from JBT and get it sent to your holiday home in Greece.”

At the end of last season Barry came to JBT Marine to purchase a RIB to compliment his house in Greece.  Barry ended up settling on a used Ballistic 5.5m RIB, it was a boat that was part exchanged to us earlier in the year.  Once we had sourced the various bits of additional equipment we arranged to have the RIB shrink wrapped.

The logistics involved with getting the boat down to Greece were reasonably straight forward thanks to the services of Gary McCourt who provided a seamless route from door to door.  Barry was on hand to receive the RIB in Greece when he unpacked the RIB it looked so good local people thought it was brand new!

Since it arrived Barry has been venturing out to local ports and Islands exploring the local territory.

Here are some pictures of Barry and his family enjoying the Ballistic 5.5m RIB along with a testimonial.

Hi Matt,
Jane and I would like to thank you so much for your enthusiastic, efficient and always prompt responses in our purchase of a magnificent 5.5m Ballistic RIB.

Living in Scotland and attempting to acquire a RIB for Greece via Portsmouth was never going to be a straightforward (or so we thought!).  JBT Marine were easily the most helpful of the firms we approached.  The Ballistic RIB range is highly ‘specked’ compared to most British “Workboat” RIBs and far smarter.

Internationally it represented better value for money than anything we could find in Greece.

You patiently and courteously dealt with a whole host of enquiries from accessories to operation to trailering to paperwork requirements for Greece.  You arranged efficient transportation and shrink-wrapping for the journey.

All we had to do was unload and go exploring in glorious sunshine as you can see from the pictures.

Buying this RIB from JBT has been one of the most positive experiences we’ve had (and no, he didn’t pay us to say that!).

Best Regards
Jane and Barry Williamson
