2 NOTHING BEATS EXPERIENCE BUILDING A RIGID HULL INFLATABLE OR FOAM FENDERED WORKBOAT IS A HIGHLY SPECIALISED CRAFT. In fact, carefully balancing the hull shape, weight distribution and lift generated by the pontoons is as much an art as it is a science - and experience is invaluable. That s why Naiad has become the brand of choice in the commercial, government or military sectors. In its 30 plus years, the company has built more than 1200 boats for customers in every corner of the world looking for quality over compromise. Naiad shines in the rough stuff, allowing you to maintain higher speeds in comfort through choppy and rough conditions. In fact, where other boats struggle, a Naiad gets the job done comfortably and safely. No wonder it s earned a reputation as the 4WD of the sea! From rescue boats to superyacht tenders, pilot boats to specialised tourism vessels, there s a Naiad for virtually any application. And if you require a purpose-built vessel, Naiad can customise one to meet your requirements exactly. Whatever your preference, wherever you re located, our network of licensed builders provides the combination of design, build quality, customer service and experience that ensures your Naiad will provide years of reliable, safe operation.

3 PATROL A COMFORTABLE, SAFE BOAT IS PARAMOUNT FOR OPERATORS TO CARRY OUT THEIR DUTIES EFFICIENTLY AND SAFELY. That s why Naiad focuses so intently on hull design. A technically superior, soft riding hull shape, combined with advanced shock-mitigating seat design means Naiad Patrol Boats are capable of higher speeds in rougher water with less potential for injury or fatigue. Furthermore, a Naiad s design makes it easier to track cleanly through waves and manoeuvre with confidence, so boarding other vessels is easier, more predictable and safer. Naiad Patrol Boats are currently deployed by Police, Fisheries, Navy dive units, Harbour Masters, Port Security and Customs in locations all around the world and the range includes centre console, walk-thru centre cabin, hardtop and full cabin.

RESCUE We took a new Naiad along the coastline to all of the significant rescue spots. Traditionally this would take 1 to 1.

The most striking thing, however, came from the forgiving nature of the hull and the realization that fast response times could be achieved with less experienced crews.

SO IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THEY NEED A BOAT THAT WILL GET THEM TO AN INCIDENT QUICKLY AND BACK HOME SAFELY.

4 RESCUE We took a new Naiad along the coastline to all of the significant rescue spots. Traditionally this would take 1 to 1.5 hours in the DGR but the Naiad did it in 26 minutes with an unfamiliar crew. The most striking thing, however, came from the forgiving nature of the hull and the realization that fast response times could be achieved with less experienced crews. ALBANY SEA RESCUE, WEST AUSTRALIA RESCUE CREWS ARE OFTEN CALLED OUT WHEN CONDITIONS ARE AT THEIR WORST. SO IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THEY NEED A BOAT THAT WILL GET THEM TO AN INCIDENT QUICKLY AND BACK HOME SAFELY. The strength and performance of Naiad has been well proven by our many rescue and military customers from all parts of the world. But it s closer to home, in some of the most challenging sea conditions anywhere, that Naiad has established its reputation. In fact, more than 60 boats have been delivered to Coastguard New Zealand, and 50 Naiads now operate as rescue boats throughout Australia.

5 PILOT The Hawaii Pilots Association currently operates a fleet of five Naiad pilot boats servicing traffic on four of the Hawaiian Islands. They have proven to be extremely rugged and seaworthy. Two characteristics of the Naiad high performance hulls that the pilots and boat crews really appreciate are their very good stability and comfortable, dry ride in rough seas.

6 TOURISM AT NAIAD, WE VE DESIGNED MANY VESSELS SPECIFICALLY FOR TOURISM OPERATORS AND UNDERSTAND THE INDUSTRY S DYNAMICS. We know tourists are spoilt for choice when it comes to on-water activities so a boat has to sell the sizzle. Of course, Naiad never compromises on safety or reliability but eye-catching looks are an important part of the package. What s more, Naiad is renowned for keeping whole-of-life operating costs low. And with a range from 8m to 14m, you can also customise a Naiad to your particular purpose. For example, a bow-boarding feature enables the operator to fold down a section of the bow fender. In-built steps then provide passengers safe and easy access, especially for beach landings. From eco-touring to whale watching, diving charters to water taxis, Naiad has a stable of boats to suit virtually any activity.
