Safety Boat Service

Safer Waters: Safer Waters is a charity in Northern Ireland offering a Unique Safety Boat service and RYA recognised training for powerboats and safety courses.

Our safety boat service is there to support events such as: Sailing, Swimming, Paddle Boarding, Rowing Wind surfing etc. that have no safety cover of their own or may need additional resources.

We are Safer Waters, a Bangor based Charity based in Bangor Marina but we will serve all communities. We travel by sea and road to coastal or inland waters to provide safety boat cover and training.

Our members have many years of experience providing safety boat services through sailing clubs hosting regional, national and international sailing events. More recently, we have supported open water swimming, skiffie, wind surfing and stand-up paddle boarding events.
