When you need a dependable, commercially coded RIB on the water, Maritime Expert delivers. Based in Athlone on Lough Ree, and operating across Ireland and the UK, we provide professional RIB rental with qualified crew for any project that requires a competent, safety-focused presence on the water. Our vessels and crews support everything from small community events to high-risk commercial operations, always delivering calm, structured safety cover you can rely on.
Why Choose Maritime Expert for Safety Boat Services?
At Maritime Expert, safety isn’t an add-on — it’s at the core of everything we do. Our RIBs are professionally crewed, fully insured, and commercially coded for inland or coastal operations. Whether you’re managing a waterside event, a rowing regatta, a construction project, or a film production, you’ll have an experienced helm ensuring that everyone on the water is monitored, supported, and protected.
We understand the unique challenges of safety cover on inland waterways. Lough Ree, the Shannon, and Ireland’s lakes and rivers bring variable weather, tight navigation channels, shifting shallows, and unpredictable conditions. Our crews work these waters daily. That experience translates directly into better decision-making, better positioning, and safer outcomes for your team or participants.
