Zeppelin polyester-hulled RIBs: 40 years of experience

Zeppelin has been manufacturing semi-rigid boats with polyester hulls for over 40 years

Our hull designs perform exceptionally well at sea and ensure everyday comfort on the water. Our models range from 4.50 to 8.50 metres, suitable for use on rivers, coastal navigation or offshore cruising.
We manufacture our models in France and can offer training in boat repair or handling.
