Practical UK RIB boating — exploring Coast & Rivers, testing upgrades, and sharing what actually works. Skint Boater is about real UK sea and river boating without a luxury budget on my current Tornado 5 Metre Rib.

This channel is for boaters who want to:
• Explore the UK coastline by RIB without going broke
• Learn real-world sea boating skills (tides, weather, planning, fuel)
• See which upgrades are actually worth paying for
• Understand the true cost of coastal boating
• Avoid expensive mistakes offshore

No Superyachts. No Marina glamour ❌

Just proper sea boating, real learning, and honest costs & reviews ✅

If you use a boat on the UK coast — especially a RIB — and want to get more range, confidence, and enjoyment without emptying your wallet, you’re in the right place.

Skint Boater.

Thank you for all the love and comments on the latest video! ☺️ Some have previously mentioned setting up a ‘buy me a coffee’ link to support my work! It’s in the bio and also here. It’s not compulsory, but a little goes a long way! 😎 buymeacoffee.com/skintboater

Plymouth to Torquay pasty run. 117 miles covered across the coast. Dipping into Salcombe and Dartmouth in the run there and back. Boat stayed in Torquay MDL marina and i had a hotel for the night. Good event, great weather and plenty of chips consumed! Full video coming soon! In the meantime, feel free to watch the trailer :)
