Extremely robust design. Being manufactured from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), our workboats are very resistant to abrasion and impact, Unlike a RIB, they have no inflatable perimeter tube to puncture. Our perimeter tubes are rigid HDPE and both the perimeter tubes and the space between deck and hull are filled with High Density Polystyrene foam.. All hulls are thouroughly inspected and passed during construction by Marcon Marine Consultants,an independent marine surveyor. 

 Safety. . HDPE is naturally positively buoyant and this combined with the foam filled sponson tubes and hull make our workboats virtually unsinkable.

 Easy to modify/repair. Although our boats are extremely rugged, should you manage to damage one, they can be repaired quickly and cost effectively.

 Versatile. All our boats lend themselves to a range of duties from hard grafting fish farm work boats to safety boats, day fishing, diving, police and patrol launches, ferry craft. We can supply the hull suited to your needs.

 Low maintenance. No need to be painting the hull every year or hauling ashore for de-fouling, marine organisms find it very difficult to adhere to HDPE .

Easy to launch and recover. The optional, custom made, fully galvanised trailer makes it an easy task to launch and recover our workboats. You can simply drive off and then back onto the trailer (see video)

Demonstrations are available by arrangement.
