Issue Highlights

Check out the interactive edition of the December 2025-January 2026 issue of IBI featuring live links and video content. 

In this issue of IBI, we delve into the highlights of Metstrade 2025, which marked its largest-ever edition in November, showcasing industry resilience and setting the stage for a promising 2026. We also celebrate the winners of the 2025 Boat Builder Awards, held during Metstrade, where industry pioneers and innovators were honoured in a spectacular evening of recognition. 

Our UK report explores how the British marine sector navigated a turbulent 2025 of subdued sales, cautious buyers, and supply-chain pressures, while maintaining optimism through diversification, export growth, and innovation. Additionally, we highlight how leading RIB tender makers are moving upscale with larger, more luxurious models to stay competitive in a challenging market. 

This issue also features profiles of Highfield Boats, Smoker Craft, and Tectrax, along with an exclusive look at Sunreef’s rapidly expanding Ras Al Khaimah facility in the UAE.
