RIB Rides
See the iconic architecture of the Royal Docks as you’ve never seen it before – from the water.
Atlantic Pacific International Rescue is running trips around the docks in one of its search and rescue RIBs (rigid inflatable boat), giving you the opportunity to forget the pavements and see the likes of Millennium Mills and SS Robin up close and from a totally new angle.
Atlantic Pacific International Rescue is an organisation that aims to cut deaths by drowning by offering lifeboats and trained crew where there’s no official water rescue service.
