Ian and the gang were brilliant. They turned a good day into a awesome day. I told everyone we were getting a bus around the Isle of White…. When we turned up and got on 2 high speed ribs for 4 hours with a few stops, they guys absolutely loved it. Ian is also very easy to deal with, friendly, efficient and a lot of fun on the day. A big thank you.
Response : Thank you very much TOM, its is also great to see everyone enjoyed their trip and we were able to help you enjoy your day.

Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended, such fun powering through the waves, you do get slightly wet but it all adds to the fun plus waterproofs are supplied anyway. Ian our Skipper was extremely hospitable and went out of his way to make it a superb day.
Response : Thank you , it was a pleasure taking you out to experience a Cowes Week day.

Ian was willing to collect us from The Isle of Wight and be flexible on timing and itinerary. He regularly shared his extensive knowledge with humour and welcomed questions. He regularly ensured that everyone was comfortable with the thrills and provided opportunities for photographs and refreshment breaks. Everyone was thrilled by the experience. I can recommend C2 Ribs without reservation.

Have once again enjoyed a great day out on the Solent hosted by C2Ribs. Thank you Ian / Chris for a fantastic day out, thoroughly enjoyable. Would happily recommend C2Ribs : very professional and well run / managed business by a team that really understand the importance of ensuring the client comes first. Would happily recommend C2Ribs - you won't be disappointed by the experience.

Myself and 9 colleagues contacted Ian at C2 Ribs prior to the P&O Cruises 175 Anniversary Celebrations. Ian arrived early armed with full waterproofs, life jackts etc. We recieved a full safety brieing and were advised where to it based on the experence we were looking for. The itinerary was advised and we were asked if we were happy with it, or whether we wanted any changes. The weather was terrible but the personality of Ian and our Helm made the overall experience fantastic. Would definitey use again and recommed. Thanks C2.

Excellent couple of hours on the water. Well enjoyed by a group of 11 stags (using 2 boats). The planning by Ian and the follow up has also been fantastic. A very well organised and implemented activity.

I had an excellent day out with Ian Winson of C2 Ribs. Our group enjoyed a fun day - well thought out and getting the best from our time and money. The boat is well equipped, we felt safe and secure and probably of most importance we felt valued as a customer. I would have no hesitation in recommending C2 ribs.

We used C2 Ribs for a stag trip, and can honestly say Ian provided us with a fantastic day. He is a very knowledgeable and entertaining skipper . Top quality kit is supplied, and a great value for money.

We used C2 Ribs for a trip from Southampton to the Ribex show in Cowes and greatly enjoyed the experience of a big rib, that mighty Yamaha 250 engine and the highly knowledgeable conversation with Ian on the way there and back. Overall a great day out for us.
