About Lyme Rib Rides
Take in the historic site of natural beauty - the Jurassic Coast - with Lyme Rib Rides.
Book a Lyme Dash - The fastest, most exhilarating experience on the water—perfect for thrill-seekers, groups of friends, adventurous couples, or anyone craving maximum excitement in minimum time! Feel your adrenaline surge as 700hp of pure power accelerates you across the waves in this unforgettable 30-minute adventure. Your expert skipper will skilfully navigate exhilarating twist, turns, and breathtaking manoeuvres, ensuring nonstop thrills from start to finish.
Looking for something with more of a chill factor: Book the Coastal Cruise - Perfect for families, couples, or anyone seeking a relaxing yet memorable experience
In just one hour, our comfortable, stable RIB covers more coastline than any other boat in the harbour, giving you an unrivalled sightseeing experience. Cruise beneath towering cliffs, past hidden coves and historic landmarks, as your skipper shares captivating stories of smugglers, shipwrecks, and ancient geology. Pause at key viewpoints for incredible photo opportunities, creating unforgettable memories along a coastline millions of years in the making.
Our RIBs may look built for speed, but they offer unmatched stability, comfort, and a smooth ride, allowing you to enjoy more sights without ever feeling rushed.
Combine the two and get a "Thrill & Chill" Experience.
Private Charter: Enjoy the ultimate flexibility and exclusivity with our private boat hire, where the entire experience is tailored just for you. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, organising a stag or hen party, planning a family adventure, or looking for a works party with a difference, having the boat to yourself means you set the pace and the destination. Other private charter options include camera media boat, environment agency water testing, ashes scatterings, swim and sail race support. There's nothing we won't consider!
Choose the perfect time to suit your schedule, explore the stunning Jurassic Coast your way, and enjoy premium comfort without the crowds. Plus, if you fill the boat, a private charter can be more cost-effective than booking individual seats!
Make unforgettable memories on your terms with Lyme RIB Rides – because some experiences are best enjoyed your way, with your people.

Exhilarating Coastal Rib Boat Ride, with Beautiful Jurassic Coast Scenery
Lyme Bib Rides offer exciting, breathtaking trips along the Jurassic Coast - a UNESCO World Heritage site. Passengers experience the rush of the RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) skimming across the waves, whilst taking in the beautiful sea views, dramatic cliffs and hidden beaches. It's the perfect blend of excitement and beauty - but don't worry if you'd prefer more of a "chill" than a "thrill" - we have options to cruise along at a slightly gentler speed - just choose the trip that's best for you.
Expert local Skippers with Live Commentary
Not just a fun ride - it's a mini coastal safari!
Friendly, local skippers share fascinating facts and stories as you past ancient cliffs, spot local wildlife like seabirds, seals and dolphins and learn about the area's rich fossil history. Its an engaging mix of excitement and learning, ideal for curious young minds.
