Ultimately, we wanted to ensure that any boat we built would take the beating of the water and provide professional mariners with the most capable boats, allowing them to complete their mission, save lives, and protect freedom around the world. Founded in 1996, we started inventing custom designs and supporting technology like our industry-leading and patented foam collar for impact and floatation. As an homage, SAFE Boats is named after our pioneering wrap-around collar design: Secure Around Flotation Equipped. We also created sound-dampening hull designs that reduced acoustics and noise pollution in the cabin. We developed performance fin technology that allow our boats to corner tighter at high speeds for maximum maneuverability. We optimized our V-shaped hull and deadrise combination so our patrol boat models can slice through rough water with minimal impact. And, we were early adopters of proven new technology like shock-mitigating seating to reduce operator fatigue and impact. This simple philosophy from our little boutique shop earned us a reputation for building the safest, toughest, and most confident-handling boats around. SAFE Boats International is 100% employee-owned, where excellence is not just a goal but a standard we proudly uphold. As a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, we are honored to have earned ISO 9001 certification. We are first and foremost a customer-focused boat builder and this prestigious accreditation serves as a cornerstone in our journey to deliver unparalleled products and services, setting us apart in a competitive landscape.
