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.

5.8m Naiad rescue vessel
The 5.8m version of the rescue vessel is an off shore hull with a steeper dead rise than that of an inshore hull.

7.3m Naiad 'VMR613'
The Denmark Volunteer Marine Rescue's experience with the 5.8m confirmed that a Kirby Naiad was the appropriate boat but something larger was needed in heavy conditions. They decided that the 7.3m Naiad was a practical proposition.
