Designs that perform when it matters most

Established in 1994 in the Netherlands — at that time under the brand name Duarry Netherlands — TP Marine ® began with a clear mission: to build rugged, seaworthy RHIBs for serious professional operations. From these focused beginnings we have grown into a trusted global partner.

Designed in the Netherlands and built in-house using vacuum-bagged fibreglass-reinforced polyester, composites, aluminium or HDPE, our boats deliver superior durability, strength and performance.

RIB International 2006: TP Marine 9 metres on test
Press · RIB International · 2006

TP Marine today, 20 years ago!

In 2006, RIB International magazine sent its tester Paul Lemmer to IJmuiden to put two TP Marine 9-metre RIBs through their paces, on a day when a force 9 to 10 north-westerly was blowing and the North Sea showed its roughest side.

The test showed what still defines our boats today: a deep-V hull with a 24° variable deadrise, a strongly flared bow and a pronounced chine that lifts the tubes clear of the water at speed, for a dry, stable and predictable ride. Even in steep, breaking seas the boats were handled in a controlled and safe manner, giving crews both safety and comfort.

  • Two 9 m RIBs with Volvo Penta D6 diesel sterndrives (300 and 350 hp)
  • Deep-V hull, 24° variable deadrise, beam over 3 m and a flat deck
  • Vinylester resins and heavy-duty 1680 denier Hypalon tubes
  • Tested off IJmuiden in force 9–10 winds and steep North Sea waves
“The low speed handling of both craft is very precise”Paul Lemmer, RIB International
