  • Custom manufacturing

The Sentinel Boats range is manufactured using the robust material High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which offers superior durability and reliability in the face of sustained force during air drops and hard beaching. The combination of design and HDPE’s virtues offers a more stable experience for the crew, offering reduced vibration, dampening noise, and lessening personnel fatigue, while its enhanced handling characteristics offer a more stable experience. The Sentinel offers unparalleled performance, safety, and survivability for interdiction boarding, pursuit, tactical assault, and first response applications when failure is not an option.

In the past 12 months, we have supplied vessels to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, Queensland Police, Tasmania Police, New South Wales Marine Rescue, New Zealand Defence Force, WA Department of Fire and Emergency Services and Victorian Parks. From our beginnings 30 years ago, every Sentinel Boats vessel, from dive boats, flood rescue and patrol boats, to oil spill response vessels, remains in commercial survey today.

As an Australian-owned company and Australian-made certified, we service customers who operate in the industrial, mining, water, maritime, aquaculture, and defence industry sectors, distributing globally. Our mission at Sentinel Boats is to drive a sustainable future by creating value for our customers through partnerships, professionalism, and collaboration. We proudly partner with organisations that share our values and create opportunities for our customers.
