Companies Directory

I first started Scorpio back in 1997 after years of watching and learning from my father, a travel retail pioneer. From a humble beginning, the team and I have created a unique company, founded on the traditional principle of business trust and building long standing relationships with clients and suppliers. We work diligently to be market leaders in the sourcing, supply, sales and marketing of a wide variety of product groups to the global inflight retailing and travel retail market. We drive ancillary revenue for our clients, working in a variety of ways to provide solutions for leading brands that are trying to access a complicated but important market our fast access to 3.7 billion international passengers (IATA 2016) creates unique sales and marketing opportunities in a controlled environment. Over the years we have built a first-class reputation for customer service, along with developing innovative and exciting products and partnerships for the future. We are also multi-award winning, with many industry accolades under our belt, and we hope to win many more! Backed by our co-owners Gebr Heinemann, the famous family owned Top 5 travel retailer and distributor based in Hamburg, established since 1879 (www.gebr-heinemann.de) we have the infrastructure to service the demands of the rapidly changing and demanding airline retail business. Our recent acquisition of inflight food specialist Gastro Culinary Innovation (www.gastro-culinaryinnovation.com) reflects our constant evolution to be the go-to partner for all on board retailing, boutique or consumables. With 20 years in the business, our experience is second to none, and we are continuing to push boundaries for the next 20! Stuart McGuire C.EO

Every Scorpion is hand built to the precise requirements of its owner in our factory in Lymington, UK. All aspects of the boats’ design, styling, moulding and assembly is done by our specialist in-house teams, including the manufacture of the tubes and installation of engines. Total control over design and build provides infinite customisation opportunities, to the extent that we can even lengthen or shorten our models to perfectly fit your requirements. The three models in the current range are differentiated by their overall beam; Serket at 2.75m, Sting at 3.1m and the Silurian at 3.25m, and are available with a range of power options, including inboard, outboard and waterjet. Additionally, the Sting is available with a cabin option as well as open cockpit. Each Scorpion is unique but shares a heritage of innovation and a hull design that has been evolved over 20 years of record-breaking offshore and ocean passages to deliver a safe, comfortable and easy ride with outstanding performance in all conditions. But it isn’t only Scorpion’s legendary success in long distance racing that makes them the ideal RIB. After all most of our owners wouldn’t want to cross oceans (although many do), but the reassurance that their boat can imparts a special confidence that only Scorpion owners and their passengers can enjoy. That special confidence also comes from our design capability, which combines the best in aesthetic styling with the latest fluid dynamic technology to create chase boats and tenders that are not only beautiful to look at but perform beautifully too – comfortable, safe, fast and fuel efficient. Superb design, meticulous craftsmanship, the best materials and exceptional build quality – including innovative production techniques like Infusion Moulding that increases strength and reduces weight – has made Scorpions what they are today, regarded by many as the best RIBs in the world.
