A TRULY BESPOKE EXPERIENCE

As a private charter you will have full input into where and when you go, a truly bespoke experience. Your skipper will build the voyage with you and help guide you to achieve the maximum experience possible.

OUR BOAT

Our skippered charter rib Texa is a custom built 9.5m and 4 ton Ribcraft fitted with radar, sonar, satellite navigation, life raft and a range of other top quality safety features. Texa is one of the most robust crafts available for private charter anywhere in the UK.

With two powerful 325hp engines capable of bringing her to a top speed of more than 50knots (close to 60mph), charter cruising will be to 25knots leaving bags of power to ensure all sea conditions can be taken smoothly.

 

A BETTER BOAT LIFE!

Deliberately designed as to experience the elements fully there is open deck seating for comfortably seven passengers (plus skipper) and by arrangement up to 11 passengers (plus skipper).

Even as an open boat Texa is relatively “dry” and of course Better Boat Life will supply all waterproofs and life-saving jackets as part of your charter.

Texa is designed for sea-keeping excellence in Scottish waters, she’s a “Land Rover” of the sea… the comforts are safety, jockey and hydraulic seats… and little else. Shes for those that want to live life and live a better boat life!
