Our vessels incorporate advanced features rarely found on typical RIBs, reflecting our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest level of protection and comfort for all onboard, in all conditions.
High-speed boating should never come at the cost of comfort or safety. Sudden changes in sea state can cause jarring vertical motion and repeated slamming, which quickly leads to fatigue and loss of control. To counter this, Enigma integrates a manually adjustable forward ballast tank system that acts like a dynamic damper—stabilising the bow and restoring smooth, level planing for a significantly more comfortable and controlled ride.
Many RIBs push tubes outward to create more deck space, but this exposes them to harsh wave slamming and increases water drag— degrading efficiency and ride quality. Thanks to Enigma’s wide 3.4m beam, our tubes are positioned further inboard to optimise hull protection, deflect spray more efficiently, and maintain clean, undisturbed water flow. The result is a smoother ride, reduced vibration, and enhanced stability across a wider range of sea states.
Every Enigma console seat is equipped with advanced suspension technology designed to isolate passengers from harsh impacts. Our premium Shark Suspension seats feature progressive travel with 225mm of ultra-smooth rebound, utilising lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials and a modern leaf spring system. Originally developed for high-speed tactical and commercial vessels, this system delivers military-grade protection with a refined aesthetic.
Passenger safety is paramount. Enigma includes an optional Wireless Kill Cord System, allowing each person onboard to wear a discreet wristband. In the event of overboard ejection, the system instantly cuts the engine and transmits the location—ensuring fast response and peace of mind without compromising freedom of movement.
Confident handling is critical to safety—especially with larger, high-performance RIBs. Enigma offers access to comprehensive powerboat training through our partner Boatability, covering seamanship skills including anchoring, navigation, tides, ropework, and situational awareness.
Enigma embraces intelligent safety. From wireless systems to optional integrated tech, we offer features that make operation easier, smarter, and safer. Explore our Enigma Additions page to discover custom options that elevate your boating experience without adding complexity.
