The Story Behind the Caribee Name

Believe it or not, Caribee is proudly Australian, but our name has its origins in South America.

The name Caribee is derived from the Caribe, a piranha-like species scientifically known as Pygocentrus nattereri. Despite its compact size, it is renowned for its strength, resilience and determination.

That same philosophy has guided Caribee since the beginning. Great products aren't defined by size alone, but by performance, durability and reliability.
