Our rescue boat hire craft

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:

01

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.

02

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.

03

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

We can accept bareboat charters, but you will need proof of sailing experience in UK waters with ICC, MCA, RYA or LKE certificates accepted with an induction.

Workboat Provider will also need to establish the helmsman’s previous experience, receive a damage deposit and ask you to agree to our terms and conditions.

Rescue boat hire kit

It’s not just the boat and helmsman you’ll be hiring; it’s the expertise and gear that comes with our hire agreement. All the boats can be delivered by road, together with the ancillary equipment needed to comply with MCA and relevant coding standards. If required, you’ll also get first aid kits, life jackets and buoyancy aids, anchors and VHF radios.


Convenient service

We deliver our rescue boats to your place of work, full of fuel and ready to go. The craft have the ancillary gear and coding certificates needed for your job, giving you the confidence and peace of mind if things go wrong.

You can hire our boats as a bareboat charter (just the boat, terms and conditions apply) or with one of our qualified and experienced helms with additional crew available.
