RIB Solution - Reparación de semirrígidas, motores y electricidad en Ibiza

RIB Solution is a workshop specializing in rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RIBs) and Mega RIBs based in Ibiza, with locations also in Naples (Italy) and Valletta (Malta). It repairs, refurbishes, and sells inflatable boats, and its marine engineering division, NEXA Solution, handles engines, generators, electrical systems, electronics, carpentry, fiberglass, painting, and Flexiteek decks on boats and yachts of all types. The idea is simple: a single team for diagnostics, maintenance, repairs, and refit projects.

Rigid-hulled inflatables: tubes, retubing, and finishes

The tubes are the part of an inflatable boat that suffers the most wear and tear. RIB Solution:

• Assesses the condition of the tubes and determines the scope of the work.
• Performs retubing: complete replacement of the tubes.
• Repairs tubes and restores finishes.
• Refurbishes upholstery, consoles, and surfaces, including painting and refinishing the hull.
• Offers RIB management: maintenance, buying, and selling—all through a single point of contact.

It also sells new and used RIBs through its own website.

Marine Engines

They work with outboard, inboard, and marine diesel engines. They inspect engine performance and maintenance history to identify malfunctions or plan for tune-ups. They maintain and repair systems from:

Engine Brands
Mercury and MerCruiser	Volvo Penta
Suzuki	Honda
Tohatsu	Generators, including Kohler

Marine Electrical Systems

Their electrical service is based on one principle: when a piece of equipment stops working, they examine the entire system, because a device that has shut down isn’t always broken; the problem may lie in the power supply or the connections.

• Onboard electrical issues: power supply, protective devices, and circuits; intermittent faults and abnormal power consumption.
• Batteries and charging: battery bank, chargers, distribution, and connections, tailored to the boat’s power consumption.
• Equipment installation: wiring, lighting, and integration of new equipment, using the appropriate wire gauge and protective measures.

Instrumentation and Electronics

They inspect displays, instruments, and sensors for navigation to determine whether the problem lies with the equipment itself, the power supply, or the wiring, and decide whether to repair, reconnect, or replace the component.

NEXA Solution: the rest of the boat

• Nautical carpentry: interior furniture and exterior wood trim.
• Fiberglass: repair of hulls, decks, and damaged parts.
• Painting and finishes, starting with proper surface preparation.
• Custom Flexiteek decks, from the cockpit to the swim platform.
• Technical management for owners and captains.

Winter Storage at Their Dry Dock

Their dry dock has slots available for winter boat storage. Simply send the model, length, beam, and dates so they can confirm availability and prepare a quote, and take advantage of the stay to perform maintenance or a refit before the season begins.

How to Request a Quote

Their process consists of three steps: you describe the issue, they define the scope of work, and they agree on a quote and schedule before starting. To ensure a quick assessment, please send:

1. Make and model of the boat and any equipment or engine.
2. What the problem is and when it occurs.
3. Photos of the electrical panel, the batteries, or the affected area.
4. Where the boat is located.

They provide service in Spanish, English, and Italian.
