Our Refurbished Boats
Returning Proven Lifeboats to Service
HG Marine specialises in the refurbishment and reconditioning of ex D-Class inshore lifeboats, returning these proven rescue platforms to active service with commercial operators, independent lifeboat stations, rescue teams, and training organisations across the UK and Ireland.
Designed for lifesaving operations in demanding conditions, D-Class boats offer exceptional stability, durability, and performance. Through careful assessment and practical refurbishment, we ensure these vessels continue to operate safely and reliably in their new roles.
A Trusted Rescue Craft
The D-Class has a long-standing reputation as a robust and capable inshore rescue craft. Its shallow draft, manoeuvrability, and proven hull and collar design make it ideally suited to:
- Independent lifeboat stations
- Rescue and safety organisations
- Training and support roles
- Commercial and workboat operations
Each boat is assessed individually to confirm suitability and refurbishment scope.
Ongoing Parts & Equipment Support
n addition to refurbishment, HG Marine continues to supply parts, equipment, and support for D-Class boats in service. This ensures operators have access to compatible components and practical advice to keep their vessels operational long after refurbishment.
Support can include:
- Replacement tube fittings and accessories
- Valves, ropes, bags, and deck equipment
- Advice on maintenance, servicing, and repairs
- Ongoing inspection and support where required
Supporting Operators Across the UK & Ireland
We work closely with organisations across the UK and Ireland, helping them place reliable, refurbished lifeboats back into service where they are needed most. Our experience with these vessels allows us to provide honest advice on suitability, upkeep, and long-term operation.
