TS Boats

Virtually unsinkable workboats built for durability, dependability and adaptability. Heavy-duty vessels from 4m to 9.4m, completely customisable for aquaculture, fisheries, and marine work.

HDPE Workboats

HDPE workboats are the only option when durability, dependability and adaptability are the requirements. Lightweight, highly impact-resistant and naturally buoyant, these vessels are designed for endurance and high performance in all sea conditions, from the tropics to the arctic.

Made with top-quality UV-resistant HDPE material that has excellent tensile strength to withstand fatigue and impacts. The material doesn't crack or break when frozen, making these boats extremely robust, user-friendly and low maintenance.
