Pantaenius UK has been announced as one of the Major Sponsors for the RIB Rendezvous 2026, taking place from 2nd to 3rd May, against the stunning backdrop of Scotland's West Coast around Oban.
Powered by Suzuki and led by Redbay, this event is firmly established as a highlight of the UK boating calendar, bringing together an adventurous and highly engaged community of owners and crews to explore the spectacular coastline and islands of the region. The 2026 event is expected to welcome more than 250 RIBs and several hundred participants, launching from a number of local harbours including Easdale, Oban, Ardoran and Dunstaffnage.
Pantaenius UK's involvement reflects a long-standing commitment to the RIB sector and to owner-led events that celebrate seamanship, exploration, community and fun on the water. As a Major Sponsor, Pantaenius UK will be on site throughout the weekend, supporting the on-water programme and social elements, including hosting morning meet-up coffees and a dockside gathering at the end of Saturday's main day on the water.
A team from Pantaenius UK will attend, meeting participants, supporting event activities and engaging with owners and crews throughout the weekend.
Simon Hedley of Pantaenius UK commented: "The RIB Rendezvous captures everything we value - groups of likeminded boaters spending quality time on the water, sharing adventures that make the memories they signed up for when they bought their boat.
Supporting events like this allows us to stay truly connected to how people are really using their boats, the environments they operate in, as well as the risks and opportunities that come with that. We're very much looking forward to being part of it."
The RIB Rendezvous has grown from its humble origins in Easdale into a nationally recognised event, offering a unique platform to mix directly with a passionate RIB community while showcasing the extraordinary cruising grounds of Scotland's West Coast.
Further event details and updates will be announced in the coming months. www.ribrendezvous.com.
