For news on the 2009 Rinker range please call Robin or Harry on 01792 467263 and watch this website for updates on the whole Rinker and Polar range. 

This coming weekend Robin and Harry are travelling to America for the unveiling by Rinker of the 2009 model line up.  We will, of course, exclusively update you with all the news on the new models and changes to existing models on our return but we are able to give you some tantalising titbits to whet your appetite such as the all new R limited range and 210 MTX and cuddy. 

Watch this website or contact Robin or Harry for more exclusive details and pictures, only from the UK's sole Rinker dealer and distributor.   

The first ever Rinker 276 Cuddy Cabin has arrived in our yard in Swansea, though this boat won't be officially premiered in the UK until the Southampton Boat Show in September you can catch a sneak preview by calling in to see us, there are also some photos to be found in the stocklist section of the website.  This is a large verstile cuddy that you can use year round with the aid of the camper canvas, which by incorporating the sports arch creates a light, bright additional room.

Though this is currently the only 276 CC in the country you can beat the rush and order a 2009 boat at the 2008 prices until August.

Call Robin or Harry for further details.

Rinker have just released pictures of their newest cuddy cabin, the 276.  Built to compliment it's sister the 276 Bowrider the cuddy version is set to be just as popular.  The 276 BR was launched at the Rinker conference last July and we have already sold four boats despite the first one not arriving in our sales yard until October last year.

The 276 cuddy reflects the styling of the bowrider to a tee but with the added comfort of a cabin designed to make overnighting on board a delight.

We are open until 5pm today or from 11 - 3 tomorrow, all you need to secure your special price is a £500 deposit so don't miss out on this opportunity to get on the water at a discounted price!

We have been so busy this year that yet again we find ourselves looking for a valeter and odd job person.

This is a full time position with a starting salary that exceeds the minimum wage, has sociable hours and plenty of opportunity for advancement through the company.  A driving licence is important as we work over a split site and the B + E towing endorsement would be an advantage but is not a requirement.  You will need to be hardworking with an ability to blend into a team but also to motivate yourself and work alone.  It is essential that you have a high standard of cleanliness as our customers expect their purchase to be in tip top condition on handover and that will be your main responsibility.

SORRY - POSITION FILLED 9th April.

Call Robin or Harry on 01792 467263 for further details.

Yesterday saw the first UK test review on a Polar Fast Fisher.  The sea angler journalist came to Swansea to test the Polar 2300 Centre Console with a Yamaha F225 Fuel Injected Four Stroke Outboard.  And boy was he pleased he did.  Despite 15-20 mph winds and a 3 - 4 foot swell this boat hit 50 mph and can only be described and a fantastically dry and confortable ride.

Keep an eye out for the next issue of Sea Angler to read everything he thought.  And don't forget we now have a large range of Polar boat here for you to see.  We now have the 1900 CC, 2100 CC, 2300 CC, 2300 WA.  Call Robin or Harry for further details. Price start from just £25,500 including VAT for a fully rigged and ready 1900 CC with a Yamaha F115hp.

Starting Tuesday 19th February until Sunday 24th the NEC is holding the National Boat, Caravan and Outdoor show. 

Cambrian Boat Centre is pleased to be there with five models on display.  We will have the Rinker 192 Bowrider, the 246 Cuddy Cabin and the 280 Express Cruiser.  We also will be un veiling the all new Polar Range of fast family fishers.  The 2300 Centre Console and 2300 Walkaround will be on display, powered by a Yamaha F225 and Yamaha F250 four stroke outboard.

Any questions please just ring the office 01792 467263 or see you there Stand 1085.

Cambrian Boat Centre are very happy to announce that they will be unveiling a new brand to the UK at the Boat, Caravan and Outdoor Show in the NEC in February.

Polar fishing boats are from the same US stable as our popular sportsboat and cruiser range Rinker yet despite having been popular in America for over 50 years they have never, until now, been seen in the UK.

We will be displaying two boats at the NEC, the 2300 Centre Console and the 2300 Walk Around, alongside three Rinkers but for a sneak preview check out the Polar section under "New Boats".  These two boats will be followed up in March with a delivery of the 1900, 2100 and 2300 (dual engine) CC's and again later in the year by the 2700 Walk Around.

For more details contact Robin or Harry.

We have hit the ground running after the London Boat Show and have new boats arriving everyday from Southampton Docks, these include 192's, 226's, 246's, 296's, 260's, 280's and for the first time in the UK a 370 Express Cruiser.

The 370EC is a full six berth cruiser with a separate forward cabin and two different seating areas in the cabin.  The optional hard top gives greater cockpit protection and adds to the sleek lines of the boat.

This boat powered by Twin 370hp Volvo Penta D6 engines will shortly be launched into its new home in Swansea Marina.

Please call for further details.

After a busy ten days at London Boat Show we are back in the office and busy with the Rinker Factory getting new boats ordered up for new customers.  Even after a busy show like last weeks we still plan to deliver all the ordered boats by April so people can catch every bit of the coming 2008 season.

Whilst the sales star of the show was the 226 R1 there were still good numbers sold of the 192, 246 both Cuddies and Bowriders, the 260 EC and the twin engined 300 EC. 

Thank you to all our new customers from the show, your orders are now with the factory and will soon be on their way over.  And yes we did keep the bottle of bubbly we shared with each of you so here is a picture.

After a busy first two days at the London Boat Show in Excel Cambrian are pleased to announce that they have already taken orders for three brand new boats, all of which will be delivered to their new owners before April.

Our stand is SO31C which is opposite Sunseeker and we are proudly displaying the 192 and 226 bowriders, the 246 Cuddy and the 260 and 300 Express Cruisers on display, the show is open until Sunday 20th January. 

Don't forget that only the British Marine Industry approved official Rinker dealer, Cambrian Boat Centre, can exhibit at the national boat shows and bring you the lifetime hull warranty and two year Volvo engine warranty as well as the knowedge and after sales care that Cambrian are known for.

See you there. 

The lorries are on there way to the Excel London Boat Show to begin preparations for the show to open on the 11th January.  The stand builders are ready to go and with several boats already sold since re opening for 2008 all the signs are there for a busy boat show.

We will be displaying the 192 Bowrider, 226 Bowrider with the R1 sports package, 246 Cuddy Cabin, the 260 Express Cruiser and the 300 Wide Beam Cruiser.  There are also some special show offers planned so please call for details or simply come and see us on stand SO31C, opposite Sunseeker.

What a great start to the New Year, the proud new owners of a 2008 model 330 Express Cruiser oversaw the unloading of their brand new boat on New Years Day.  She will be launched next week and is due to be berthed in Swansea Marina so will be available for viewing whenever she is not cruising the Bristol Channel. 

Just call Robin or Harry for further details or to arrange a viewing.

The first Rinker Express Cruiser 330 has landed in the UK and having cleared Customs at Southampton Docks is due to arrive back in Swansea on the lorry in the next couple of days.

This 330 will be delivered to it's new owners over the next few weeks, but despite being sold it will be remaining in Swansea and will be available for viewing by appointment.

The 330 offers brand new, updated styling and will comfortably sleep six.  With it's wraparound cockpit seating, standard cockpit fridge, ice maker and blender, generator and reverse cycle heating / air conditioning this is the perfect family boat and represents outstanding value for money.

Cambrian Boats are proud to say that following the great success of Southampton Boat Show and substantial forward orders for 2008 we currently have several ships sailing from the Rinker factory laden with over $1,250,000 worth of Rinkers.  All these boats are due to land in January and will be delivered in Febraury to their expectant new owners.  This will make way for the following ships due in February and March with stock boats ready for London Boat Show customers.

Don't forget we will be at London Boat Show, Excel, Docklands, 11- 20 January, opposite the Sunseeker stand.  More details to follow soon.

In the spirit of the season we have reduced selected stock boats for a limited period of time.

Check out the stocklist section of our website and look for the Christmas deal logo for further information.

Contact Robin or Harry for details on any of the boats shown on the website.

The new Arvor 280 AS Deluxe has just been unveiled at the Paris Boat Show.  The UK launch is all set to take place at the Collins Stewart London Boatshow at Excel from the 11th January 2008.

While this new model undoubtedly has striking similarities to the 250 AS Deluxe there are several differences which will set the two models apart and the 280 AS Deluxe is sure to be a popular boat with upgraded luxury and Arvor's reputation for excellence yet more than enough detail and "fishability" to keep even the most serious fisherman happy.

For a sneak preview at the model details take a look at Arvor in the New Boats section of our website.  Prices and further details will be unveiled during the boat show but watch this site for updates and delivery of our first 280 AS Deluxe in the New Year.

Contact Robin or Harry for further details. 

It seems like only yesterday that Rinker proudly launched the all new 276 Bowrider at the dealer conference.  But already the first one has arrived at Cambrian Boats and will soon be off to its new home with the proud owners. 

Powered by the 8.1 GXi 425hp Volvo sterdrive this example cleared 60 mph, shown on the standard fitted GPS chart plotter.  She also has the totally re designed sports arch fitted, this arch while looking spectacular can also be used for skiing and wakeboarding.  One awesome looking boat!!

Whilst this model will not be at London Boat Show, Excel in January we will have many other models there.  Watch this space for further details.

We are delighted to announce our most successful ever boatshow.  Despite the weather being mainly chilly and a little wet the Rinkers more than held their own at Southampton last week and we are extremely pleased to announce that with a combination of the right quality finished product at the right price, unrivalled product knowledge and competent enthusiastic sales staff we have achieved a previously unmatched level of orders for the new 2008 line up of Rinkers.

To find out more about the 2008 range and prices or to place an order please contact Robin or Harry.

We will be updating our website over the coming weeks to include both the new models and model upgrades for 2008 so keep watching to find out more, and don't forget we are the only people authorised and trained by the factory to bring you Rinkers in 2008 and future years.  

We are pleased to report that all the Rinkers made it safely to the show and were lifted into position on the stand on Saturday morning.  We would like to say a big thank you to Mark, Gareth, Tony and Dai who are currently slogging away building another excellent stand in time for the opening of the show on Friday 14th September.

Don't forget the reason that Cambrian are the only people displaying Rinker boats at Southampton, London and the NEC is because we are the only people able to buy Rinkers from the factory and the only people therefore able to offfer you the factory lifetime hull warranty.

The requests to the Rinker factory by certain parties to be contracted as a Rinker dealer have fallen on deaf and unimpressed ears and we remain the only official Rinker dealers in the UK.  

On a happier note we look forward to meeting you on our stand in Southampton and showing off the fantastic, value for money sportsboat and cruiser ranges from Rinker.  

With only 8 days to go until the opening of the 2008 Southampton Boat Show stand preparations are well underway.  We have already started loading lorry loads of boats and despatching them to the show ground and are pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting the 300, 280 and 260 from the Express Cruiser range and 246, 230 Atlantic and 192 from the Captiva Sportsboat range.

Don't forget that only Cambrian Boat Centre are official UK Rinker importers and dealers and only our staff have knowledge of the complete 2008 model line up and changes.  As the only official dealer we are not only the only company who can exhibit at the Southampton Boat Show but we are also the only people who can truly bring you 2008 Rinker Boats.

Robin and Harry look forward to welcoming you to the same stand as last year, B043 on the left hand side just before the first footbridge and to bringing you exclusive details on the new range as we have done for the last 10 years.

All of us at Cambrian Boats would like to thank, The Wave, the RNLI, all the spectators either in Mumbles or afloat on their boat and a BIG WELL DONE to the 30 crazy rafts that took part.

Following the Mumbles RNLI Raft Race (which raised over £12,000 in day for the RNLI) many of us piled around to Pwll Du Bay for a mass BBQ and glass of beer.  Again, big thanks to all those Rinker, Arvor, RIB Eye and Zodiac owners that came to the party. See you next year.

The weekend of 28th July was spent at the very plush Gaylord Texan Resort on Lake Grapevine in Texas where Rinker proudly unveiled their new models and showed off their complete Captiva and Cruiser ranges.

Having viewed and trialled firsthand the 330 Express Cruiser (that has replaced the 320), 276 Captiva Bowrider (replacing the 262) and 296 Cuddy (replacing the 282) we can confirm that not only are they all going to prove to be very popular models but they are also completely different internally and externally from the models that they are replacing.

To receive further information and conference photos on these or any of the models in the Rinker range please contact Robin or Harry on 01792 467263 and either of us will be happy to share our firsthand knowledge of the range.
