Scorpion RIBs has appointed the Ancasta Group as the official dealer for Scorpion RIBs in the UK and Europe.

The Ancasta Group has 22 offices throughout Europe and is also the official dealer for brands such as Beneteau, Bluegame, Prestige, Lagoon, Protector RIBs, CNB & McConaghy.

“It’s a privilege to be driving more exposure and awareness of this fantastic British brand to the boating public and marine industry,” says Andy Andrews, Scorpion brand manager.

“Scorpions are widely acknowledged as one of the best RIBs in the world because their unique hull design gives them the best of both worlds – the highest levels of safety and class-leading performance.

“This partnership is a very positive move for both sides. With Ancasta providing sales and aftersales support for customers across the UK and Europe, the team at Scorpion can focus on its strength of manufacturing boats of exceptional quality and design, ideal for chase boats and superyacht tenders.”

Scorpion RIBs are hand built in the firm’s factory in Lymington, UK. All aspects of the boats’ design, styling, moulding and assembly are achieved by specialist in-house teams, including the manufacture of the tubes and installation of engines.

The three models in the Scorpion RIBs range are differentiated by their overall beam; Serket (available in 7.8m – 9.8m models) at 2.75m, Sting at 3m and the Silurian at 3.25m. They are available with various power options, including inboard, outboard and waterjet engines. Additionally, the Sting is available with a cabin option as well as an open cockpit.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Ancasta Group and its subsidiary PB Europe to amplify the reach of Scorpion RIBs in the UK and across Europe,” says Patrick Byrne, CEO of Scorpion RIBs. “Ancasta’s expertise and proven track record in the sales and marketing of premium brands, as well as its own dedicated after-sales support capability, make it the ideal partner for us as we look to grow our brand’s presence in the leisure marine and superyacht sectors.”

Part of the Ancasta Group, PB Europe is creating an extensive network of exclusive European dealers for Scorpion RIBs, as it has done for Rayglass Boats’ Protector vessels on the continent. PB Europe is actively seeking potential dealers throughout Europe and interested parties should contact Andy Andrews via 00 44 (0)7721 671045 or via email.
