Safety Boat & Commercial Boat Hire UK

Safety boats, work boats, bareboat hire and filming boats for commercial and waterside projects across the UK.

Boat Hire for Construction, Safety, Access & Media Projects

FPS Pontoon Hire provides a range of commercial boat hire services for construction, civil engineering, bridge and rail works, inspections, maintenance, environmental projects, events and media productions across the UK.

Depending on the requirement, we can provide dedicated safety boat cover, practical work boats, selected craft on a bareboat basis, or crewed boats for television, film and photography.

The boat, crew and mobilisation plan are selected around the task, waterway, personnel, equipment, access and operating conditions rather than using one craft for every project.

Explore our commercial boat fleet or find out about survey and inspection boat hire for your project.

Safety Boat Hire Services

FPS provides safety boat hire for construction, bridge, river and event work anywhere in the UK. Each safety boat comes with two trained operatives, rescue and first-aid equipment, and is positioned to cover your team while they work over or next to water.

We plan cover around your RAMS and emergency arrangements, and can supply the boat on its own or alongside our floating pontoons and work platforms. Day, night-shift and weekly hire available.
