Why Buying Early for the 2026 Season Saves You Time and Money

If you’re dreaming of making the most of the 2026 boating season, now is the time to act. At The Wolf Rock Boat Company, we specialise in premium RIBs and boats from BRIG, IRON, and GALA – brands trusted by boating enthusiasts across the UK. Securing your boat early doesn’t just guarantee availability; it saves you time, money, and stress when spring arrives.

Why Buy Early?

1. Beat the Lead Times

Boat manufacturing and delivery schedules are already filling up for 2026. Popular models like the BRIG Eagle 8 Custom or IRON 827 often have lead times of several months. Waiting until March or April could mean missing the start of the season entirely. By ordering now, you lock in your preferred model, specification, and engine choice without compromise.

2. Avoid Price Increases

Boat prices typically rise annually due to material and shipping costs. Buying early secures today’s pricing and protects you from seasonal surcharges. It’s a smart investment for anyone considering a new RIB or boat.

3. Enjoy a Stress-Free Spring

Early buyers have time to arrange finance, insurance, and any customisations. You’ll also have the chance to book your first service and get familiar with your boat before peak season. Imagine launching your new BRIG or IRON in April while others are still waiting for delivery!

Is a RIB Boat Good for Devon Sea Conditions?

Absolutely. RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) are designed for stability and performance in choppy waters, making them ideal for the South West coastline. Models like the BRIG Navigator 26 and IRON 707 offer deep-V hulls for superior handling and comfort, even in challenging conditions. Whether you’re exploring Salcombe, Dartmouth, or the open sea, these boats deliver safety and confidence. For anyone searching for Devon Boats, RIBs are the perfect choice.

Safety is paramount. At minimum, you’ll need:

• Lifejackets for all passengers

• VHF radio for communication

• First aid kit

• Anchor and mooring lines We can advise on the full safety checklist when you visit our showroom.
