Pantaenius UK to sponsor RIB Rendezvous 2026

A unique event on the water

Unlike traditional marine shows or organised races, RIB Rendezvous is a voluntary cruising-in-company event. Participants come together for a shared passage along Scotland’s spectacular west coast, navigating as a group while remaining fully responsible for their own vessels and decision-making on the water. 

The weekend centres around a full day of cruising, supported by social gatherings ashore and a strong sense of community among owners and crews. From the initial briefing through to the final return leg, the focus is on shared experience good boats, good water and good company.

Supporting the RIB community

At Pantaenius UK, we have been supporting the leisure boating community for over 35 years. Many of our team are active boaters themselves, and events like RIB Rendezvous offer a valuable opportunity to stay connected with how people are using their boats in real-world conditions.

Our involvement reflects a continued commitment to the RIB sector and to owner-led events that celebrate exploration, seamanship and time spent on the water. We will be attending throughout the weekend, meeting participants and supporting activities both on and off the water.

Experience, preparation and enjoyment

RIB Rendezvous captures the spirit of boating at its best bringing together like-minded owners to enjoy some of the most dramatic cruising grounds in the UK.

Events of this scale also serve as a reminder of the importance of preparation, good decision-making and understanding your vessel. From passage planning to onboard checks, it is often the smaller considerations that contribute most to a safe and enjoyable experience.

Looking ahead to May

With registrations already at capacity and a waiting list in place, RIB Rendezvous 2026 is set to be a standout moment in the boating calendar. 

We are delighted to be part of the event and look forward to seeing so many RIB owners and crews on the water in Oban this May.
