WATCHING OVER YOUR WORKFORCE FROM THE WATER

SENTRY BOATS

The Safety Boat Specialists

For over 25 years, Sentry Boats has been trusted to keep people safe on the water. As true Safety Boat Specialists, we’ve operated across coastal waters, rivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs — anywhere work meets water.

Our mission is simple: to protect those who work in, on, over, under, or near water. Much like the RNLI looks after the public, we look after Britain’s workforce — ensuring every project near water is backed by professional, reliable safety cover.

When you partner with Sentry Boats, you’re working with a team that lives and breathes water safety. Our crews are seasoned professionals, hand-picked from the port, maritime, and marine leisure sectors. Each brings decades of experience in boat handling, rescue operations, and water safety management.

Our modern fleet includes rapid-response safety boats, survey craft, and multipurpose working platforms — ready to support your operations 24/7.

From risk assessments and mitigation advice to full safety boat coverage, we’ve supported multinational companies, construction firms, government agencies, and broadcasters for more than two decades.

At Sentry Boats, water is our business — and safety is our speciality.

Our Safety Boat in Action

“A crew from Sentry Boats, which had been contracted by Highways England to be stationed under the Blaydon Bridge during A1 roadworks, noticed that emergency services were on the scene. Two of the safety and rescue boats then went over to nearby Scotswood Bridge and were on hand in case the woman fell into the water.”
