SOS Marine: flotation and rescue equipment for your crew
SOS Marine makes lifejackets, life rafts, man-overboard markers and recovery equipment. Its products address the needs of people in the water and the crew trying to help them, from flotation to getting someone back aboard.
Think about the last part of the rescue
Reaching a person with the boat can still leave a difficult job. Getting them over the side may be challenging when the hull is high or few people are available to assist. SOS Marine offers recovery ladders and Sea Scoopa for that stage, alongside its SOS Dan Buoy marker and flotation products.
We like that recovery has its own place in the range. It encourages owners to consider the physical task rather than stopping the plan at finding the person. Products with distinct jobs make the equipment easier to assess against the vessel.
An Australian manufacturer focused on safety
Based in Botany, Sydney, SOS Marine manufactures for leisure, professional and defence users. Its specialist offering covers flotation, survival and rescue equipment rather than a general mix of boating accessories.
That focus is useful for owners deciding what to carry. A lifejacket, marker and recovery device serve different purposes, and the boat's layout and crew help determine which products to investigate.
Why we feature the business
Machinery maintenance gets attention because owners want their boats ready when needed. We think the equipment carried for people deserves that same attention before a trip.
We feature SOS Marine because its products have a clear human purpose. The range gives owners practical options to consider for helping someone in the water, with particular attention to the difficult work of returning them to the vessel.
