Hurricane Isaias is bearing down, and agencies and first responders across the Carolinas are checking their boats, trailers, and gear right now. To everyone preparing to protect their communities: thank you, and stay safe out there.

If your team is looking at where a boat fits into your response plan, we have good news to share.

Inmar Boats for Fire, Rescue, Patrol, and Dive Teams

Inmar builds military and professional inflatable boats for fire departments, patrol teams, and rescue operations. They also work well for diving and family days on the water. Here is a look at what we can quote:

Roll-up (box) boats – 380, 430, 470, and 530 models, from 12.5 to 17.5 feet, in Mehler or Hypalon fabric, with aluminum or inflatable floors. They pack down for easy storage and transport.
Rigid hull models – 470R, 550R, 600R, and 660R, from 15.5 to 21.7 feet, with fiberglass hulls, console layouts, and outboard packages.
Aluma-Lite – 11 to 14.5 foot aluminum hull boats.
Fire & Rescue series and yacht tenders

Why a Boat Matters to a Dive and Rescue Team

A good boat is more than transportation. It is your dive platform, your stand-by and tending position, your way to reach a search area quickly, and, in high water, your way to reach people who need help. Matching the boat to the mission (swiftwater, flood response, search and recovery, or dive operations) is what makes it useful on the day you need it.

Let's Talk About Your Mission

Every team is different. Tell us how you operate, what you tow with, how many people you carry, and what your budget looks like. We will help you sort through the options and put together a package that makes sense for your department. If you would like to see one in person, ask us about a boat demo.
