Recreational vessels are built to specific
requirements, depending upon the very specific needs of the owner. For
example, one request was for a live on-board tank as the owner has a hobby
of diving for tropical fish and wanted to transport them to his home tank.

After spending a year researching and comparing
various RIB options I acquired a 4.8m Naiad built by Kirby Marine.
I was impressed with the people at Kirby Marine who patiently fielded
my never ending questions and invited me to a testing session where
they had various Naiads on hand. I was instantly astonished by the
soft ride of the 4.8m Naiad, its strong construction and fantastic
quality finish. The Naiad will always be my first choice due to
its rugged aluminium hull construction and clever design. The market
recognizes this and consequently re-sale value is maintained.
Kirby Marine has a well deserved reputation for doing everything
“right” – their boats are built to a standard
that has no equal. Added to this is an excellent after sales customer
focused attitude. If you are looking for a 'performance' RIB to
suit challenging sea conditions then a Kirby Naiad is what I recommend.

Naiad "DV8"
This
DV8 surpassed anything we previously thought possible.
It was displayed for the first time at the Mandurah
Boat Show and was the first vessel in Australia to sport a twin
configuration of Yamahas new 350hp V8 outboards.
This 10m Naiad took the 2010 WA Boat of the Year, along with the Aluminium over 6m category. The judges were excited to see what Kirby Marine had to offer after taking the 2009 WA Boat of the Year.
The DV8tion did not disappoint. It is a long range sports weekender, ideal for day tripping to islands fishing and diving. The vessel is trailerable and easy to launch and retrieve.
This 10m Naiad “Contender”
is a very classy vessel and the owner loves it. He didn’t
spare a dime and the fit out is testament to his good taste and
desire of comfort.

11.3m Naiad "Southern
Cross"
This vessel is used to travel to and
from The Abrohlis Islands and is owned by a well respected Australian
mid west coast businessman with whom we worked to develop the concept.
It is a prime example of customization to the client's needs and
wishes.
Built specifically
to rigid specifications as determined by the owner. This vessel
has since had a revamp and the new 350hp V8 Yamaha outboards (triple
configuration) perform well.

and durability. Kirby Marine brings the concept to fruition with

a superlative relationship that delivers a remarkable boat whatever
