SEA,
SEARCH & RESCUE VESSELS
It is essential that rescue vessels are safer and stronger
than the craft they are rescuing and they need to weather the harsh conditions
and travel as fast and direct as possible.
Kirby Marine work with the group who is to operate the craft
and do our best to deliver a craft that will exceed their expectations
and desires. We admire the work these volunteers do and do all we can
to preserve their lives.

Broome, Walpole, Bremer Bay and Hopetoun have all chosen this vessel

a very fast response. The boats have been individualized to suit
