Marine-Grade Aluminium Hulls · Premium Inflatable Tubes
Traditional boating shouldn't restrict where you can explore.

By pairing marine-grade aluminium hulls with premium inflatable tubes, GALA creates an incredibly light, immensely strong, and deeply luxurious coastal craft.

What Our Customers Say
Trusted by Boaters Across the UK
"Professional, friendly, fantastic service"
"Incredible service. We had an issue with our Suzuki engine having a faulty sensor and emitting a constant piercing warning sound. They attended within an hour and sorted the problem in a professional, friendly manner. We are so confident in their skills and fantastic service would use them all the time for any boat related tasks …… if they moved closer to our home port of Southampton!"
Matthew Moles
"Knew instantly what the problem was"
"I'd had a gear shift problem on a Susuki DF200AP. I had tried calling my nearest Susuki agent 3 times but no one could help. I was recommended Wolf Rock , gave them a call a was able to speak to an engineer, he knew instantly what the problem was. I investigated the shaft he said and that was definitely the problem. All fixed now and can't thank Wolf Rock enough. Highly recommend 👌"

David Clarke
"Professional and kind throughout the whole process"
"The staff member I dealt with (Hayley) was so helpful and communicated everything throughout the ordering and delivery process. Hayley kept me in the loop the hole time and was very professional and kind throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for boat parts or any marine needs."
Euan Bell
"Customer service was outstanding"
"The customer service I received from Hayley was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and she went above and beyond to help me with my enquiry. She was a breath of fresh air, and a really lovely person to deal with. She is a real asset to the company. Thankyou Hayley for all your help 😊 …"
Sarah Lilley
"Plenty of valuable advice"
"I met the team at the Southampton Boat Show last week. Despite telling them I had purchased a Brig privately and wasn’t a potential customer, Moss, who I spoke with, still took me out on their boat to demonstrate its capabilities. My friends and I were offered refreshments, along with plenty of valuable advice. After such a positive experience, I’m certain that my next boat will be coming through them!"
Charlie Weeks
"They dropped everything for me"
"It is such a relief to go to a professional business that really do go the extra mile. At a very busy time in their calendar, they dropped everything for me and got my outboard fixed, thereby saving my family from a holiday with a boat and no engine. . Lovely people to work with and with a great ‘can do’ attitude. I could not recommend them highly enough."
John Peck
"Always ready and available to help with any issues "
"Recently purchased a Merry Fisher 805 from Wolf Rock, Matt was very knowledgeable, he answered any queries quickly, always ready and available to help with any issues and his professionalism was outstanding to say the least, in all this made the whole experience of purchasing a boat very pleasant, I would highly recommend Wolf Rock to any prospective buyer in the future, Matts honesty and efficiency were second to none!"
John Mcclean
" I cannot fault the team"
"It was a choice between a new roof or a nice RIB, the roof is French Slate, so should be good for a while yet. Cannot fault the service I had here, as initially it was not my intention to actually buy the RIB that I have, but so glad I did. I cannot fault the team and especially Matt who was very organised and helped me make the right choice. Came away with a great little box with all the manuals in [big plus] and a nice Brig badge which I am hoping on the back of this review will turn into a nice XL Brig Fleece :] Would I recommend them, without a doubt and they were a pleasure to deal with. Customer service is clearly embedded here."
KJN Kruger
"The whole process of acquiring so easy"
"The whole team at Wolf Rock are excellent, I have been dealing with them since 2021 and have now bought my third boat from them, a very beautiful Eagle 10. The family and I fell in love with it on a demo last summer and Matt made the whole process of acquiring so easy for us from the initial enquiry right through the build and handover. We took delivery today and it is everything we dreamed of, if not even better. An awesome boat from an awesome company…!"
Barry Williams
"Surpass our expectations"
"We’re return customers with The Wolf Rock Boat Company, they are highly professional, efficient and courteous and continue to surpass our expectations with after sales support and care. We dealt with Jason, who was very knowledgeable and managed the whole process of handover extremely well. We will continue to use them in the future for all our RIB boating requirements.

The Problem with Heavy Fibreglass Hulls
(And the Aluminium Solution)
Fibreglass sports boats look beautiful in a marina. But the reality changes when you want to nose up to a rocky Devon beach or pull onto a gravel bank. You worry about gelcoat chips. You stress about the weight when launching against a fast-running tide. Heavy boats mean bigger engines, higher fuel bills, and difficult trailering. We know these frustrations inside out.
Our founder, ex-semi-professional water skier Paul McCarthy, established Wolf Rock in 2007 to find vessels that actually fit the realities of British coastal boating. That is why we introduced GALA to British waters. By replacing traditional fibreglass with powder-coated, high-tensile aluminium hulls, a GALA boat sheds significant weight without sacrificing structural integrity. They are exceptionally tough. You can run them up on the beach with total peace of mind. Even better, their light weight means they pop up on the plane instantly, delivering sports-boat performance with smaller, highly efficient outboard motors.

The GALA RIB Range:
Lightweight Boats, Heavyweight Performance
GALA splits its engineering focus into two clear, purpose-built model series. Both feature their patented hull extensions for faster planing and a drier ride. Explore the options available today through our showrooms.
Series 01
GALA Aquahelm
The Smart, Ultra-Lightweight RIB Tender
Engineered with premium ORCA Hypalon tubes and a powder-coated marine-grade aluminium hull, the GALA Aquahelm series delivers big-boat confidence in a lightweight, easy-to-handle package. Ranging from the ultra-compact A300Q to the spacious A390Q, every model features GALA’s innovative floating helm design to maximise legroom and keep the deck clean and uncluttered. Equipped with integrated trim tabs for effortless planing and remarkable high-speed stability, the Aquahelm range is exceptionally simple to launch, recover, and stow.
Best for: Luxury yacht tenders, beach hopping, and effortless coastal transfers.
GALA Aquahelm
GALA Atlantis A500L
Series 02
GALA Atlantis
The Ultimate Premium Tender
Weight matters when a boat sits on your davits or swim platform. The GALA Atlantis range is engineered specifically to serve as a high-end, lightweight GALA tender or a compact standalone utility craft. Featuring a double-deck design with a flat internal floor, it keeps your feet entirely dry while offering immense payload capacities. It is simple to launch, easy to stow, and incredibly durable.
Best for: Luxury yacht tenders, easy-launch crabbing boats, and short coastal hops.
Series 03
GALA Viking
The Definitive Cruising RIB
Designed for those who want a premium, high-performance family day-boat without the heavy towing weight. The GALA Viking series is a dedicated cruising boat, equipped with integrated fuel tanks, spacious console seating, and elegant towing arches. It bridges the gap between utilitarian toughness and high-end luxury, making it perfect for water skiing, coastal exploring, or taking the family out to Salcombe for lunch.
