Fire Boats

Building superior, dedicated aluminum Fireboats for over twenty years.

Northwind Marine builds fireboats on RIB and Argus Class mono-hull platforms in 19- to 33-feet configurations.

Northwind Marine’s exclusive Argus Class Hull is one of the most rugged mono-hull platforms ever built. This makes it possible to build a boat that is not only extremely fast, but will withstand just about everything that man and the elements can deliver.

Fire departments that rely on water access can trust Northwind Marine to provide them with the most comprehensive list of equipment and configurations on the market. Boats can be built to suit each department’s specific needs.
