The brand

NAIAD represents a different RIB model altogether. Rather than buying a mass-market catalogue tender, NAIAD buyers frequently work with custom or semi-custom commercial and recreational configurations. A NAIAD should not be compared directly with a roll-up tender merely because both use inflatable tubes.

Our take

When the boat has to survive a job rather than a weekend, this is the conversation to have.
