Who We Are

Born from Heritage, Built for Adventure

Twisted Marine, based in Salcombe and Brighton, blends British racing heritage with meticulous engineering to redefine premium rigid-inflatable boats (RIBs).

Following their acquisition of the legendary Scorpion RIB brand—with roots tracing back to a 1996 offshore championship victory—Twisted delivers high-performance vessels that dominate both pleasure cruising and competitive racing. Each boat, from their compact Tender Series to the flagship T450R (nicknamed “Defender of the Seas”), is hand-finished in-house, tuned for performance, and customisable to exacting owner specifications. Their services encompass commissioning, servicing, storage, and full refit packages—allowing owners to truly say: The best — made better.

Charles’ story

After two decades spent growing Twisted Automotive into a worldwide brand and renowned automotive engineering business, with a solid team behind him, Charles’ attention could be transferred into a the lifelong passion for all things marine. After meeting Jake and purchasing a marine engineering business in Salcombe in 2021 Charles was positioned to launch Twisted Marine with an incredible team of engineers enabling accelerated entry into the market. Twisted Marine will develop its range to include ‘resto mod’ 90’s power boats, develop and build new sports craft from solid marine engineering foundations.

Jake’s story

“I have a passion for all things fast and anything that floats with big engines. I originally trained as a marine engineer within the leisure industry before obtaining a masters degree in mechanical engineering.

I then went on to work for the Mercedes Formula 1 and Formula E teams in powertrain design before returning to the marine industry. The Twisted culture is a true amalgamation of my passions and the projects we are working on are trailblazing.”

Superb advice, service & support – professional, friendly and responsive. I bought my first boat from Jake and the team and can honestly say how brilliant Twisted have been throughout – one very delighted customer who will be coming back for more!

Volvo MDI unit failed at the start of our holiday when just arrived in Salcombe. Jake was absolutely brilliant at diagnosing the problem, ordering the parts and getting an engineer out to our boat. The engine was running again within 3 days and the engineer was an absolute pleasure to have on the boat. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Joanna Walton

Amazing service from Twisted. We had a fuel leak when passing through, but Twisted sent Callum out within 30 mins of our call, who was a capable, lovely guy and had us on our way within the hour. Can’t recommend them enough.
