Sometimes at sea, on rivers or waterways, things can go wrong. That’s why you need to consider a rescue boat hire for your water-based job.
Workboat Provider has the boats, equipment, staff expertise and professionalism to deal with a tricky situation. Most of the time, we will just be in the background as you get on with the job. But if things do go wrong, we’re there to ensure no one is hurt and damage or disruption is kept to a minimum.
At Workboat Provider we know that on-water safety and the wellbeing of your people is vital. For this reason, Workboat Provider offers a comprehensive, nationwide, rescue boat hire service you can wholeheartedly rely upon.
To target this ambition, we maintain a robust fleet of rescue boats and rescue boat hire packages that will tackle: environmental challenges, the demands of weather, various water hazards, waterway restrictions and proficiently contend with the rigours of marine based projects.
All rescue boat hire packages are delivered to your site, full of fuel, with the ancillary gear and coding certificates required for the job. And you have the choice to charter your rescue boat hire package as a bareboat charter (terms and conditions apply) or with one of our qualified helms. Additional crew are available too - just ask.
Have a browse through our fleet of rescue boats and rescue boat hire options then give us a ring to discuss your site, project parameters or enquire about our rescue boat hire ancillary equipment, accessways or pontoon platforms - because for turnkey on-water rescue support, Workboat Provider excels in safety, capability and reliability.
All our boats and crews are ready for anything. Water safety is paramount for our customers and ourselves, and we should never underestimate the challenges of working afloat.
We have three types of craft:
Four 3.6m plastic Rigiflex New Matic 360 boats, which can take up to six people, including the helm. These are excellent for more straightforward jobs. Resilient and stable in poor weather, they are licensed by the Port of London Authority, allowing us to work independently on the River Thames.
One 4.3m 420 HD Bombard Typhoon inflatable rib specialises in reaching difficult access areas and can also take up to six people. It’s easily transportable and simple to assemble, making it an adaptable all-rounder.
One 7.8m Ribcraft inflatable rib with a 250HP Suzuki outboard can accommodate up to 10 people and travel 20 miles offshore during the daytime and 10 miles offshore at night, thanks to its MCA Category 3 certificate. It’s purpose-built to withstand the demands of commercial use and is also licensed by the Port of London Authority.
Our rescue boat hire option offers a comprehensive, nationwide rescue boat hire service that you can rely on.
Our boats can be hired with a certified helm or as a bareboat charter with agreed terms and conditions. Contact us on 01206 806232 or email info@workboatprovider.co.uk
