Miro
Ballistic XP80
Built for Harbour Days and Beyond
Miro is our Ballistic XP80 and the biggest adventure RIB in the Northshore Boat Club fleet. She has the capability and presence you would expect from that title, but what makes her particularly enjoyable is the way she balances that with comfort, shelter and a more sociable onboard setup.
Shortlisted for the 2024 Motor Boat Awards in the Adventure Boats category, Miro feels built for longer days on the water, but not only the active ones. She is just as appealing for relaxed cruising, lunch afloat and stretching the day out in good company.

T-Top
Space, Shelter and a Bit More Versatility
Miro has a layout that makes the day feel open-ended in the best way. The structured T-top brings useful cover overhead while also giving you roof rack storage for extra kit, and the rear sunbed and retractable picnic table help the boat shift naturally from travelling to stopping off.
Twin Garmin navigation screens keep things feeling well equipped at the helm, while the overall setup gives eight people a more sociable way to spend time on board. She is clearly capable, but she does not feel hard-edged. That is part of her appeal.
For some days, Miro will be the boat you choose because you want the carrying power and confidence of a larger RIB. For others, she will simply be a lovely place to cruise, settle in and make a day of it.
available across all membership plans

SUP's
Our paddleboards are included across all Northshore Boat Club membership plans, giving you an easy option for the slower moments – warm days, quick trips out and the times when a boat is not really the point.
Kept here at Northshore, inflated and ready to launch straight into the harbour, they take away the usual faff of bringing one from home and getting set up.
We provide buoyancy aids and the essentials too.
KAYAK
Our kayaks are included across all Northshore Boat Club membership plans, with both single and double kayaks available as part of membership.
Because they are already here at Northshore, ready to launch straight into the harbour, there is no need to load them up at home and cart them back and forth.
We provide buoyancy aids and the essentials too, so it is all there and ready to go.
