Specialist Craft
Extreme Low Water Craft
Extreme low water craft are usually strong construction, fast performance, aluminium hulled craft that are either powered by jet units or of air boat design.
Extreme low water craft utilise speed, manoeuvrability and survivability for a variety of applications including military, law enforcement and Search & Rescue (S&R) operations.
Air Cushion & Hovercraft
Hovercraft or air cushion craft are used as specialised commercial and military transport. A hovercraft or air cushion craft can transport high loads of personnel or equipment.
Because they are supported by a cushion of air, hovercraft are unique in their ability to travel equally well over land, ice and water at constant speeds.
Personal Water Craft PWC
Personal Water Craft (PWC) have various commercial and military roles. PWCs or jet skis are small, light to transport, easy to launch and perform well as surf rescue craft.
Amphibious craft need to have good performance on land and water. A quad bike that converts to a PWC has potential for search and rescue, military or emergency services.
