The Naiad Scout is a tough and hard wearing small rescue boat. Perfect for Yacht and boating clubs or as a support boat to a patrol ship. Scout's are popular because they allow two people to sit while still having clear movement all around the boat, their low maintenance requirements and excellent sea-keeping abilities. Features: Marine grade aluminium, Proven hull design, Extra heavy duty pontoon outer cover, Two, four or five inners air bladders, Custom layouts and add-ons, 200mm aluminium inwhale above floor.

The Naiad twin pontoon system of butyl rubber inners covered by extra heavy duty PU/PVC outers are easily removable and replaceable anywhere in the world. Naiad has concentrated on “in the field” maintenance because Naiads are used in such out of the way places, from the South Pacific to Antarctica and Alaska.

With Naiad’s large diameter pontoons providing extra seating, many people can be moved to and from ships or yachts with ease and comfort. The non marking rubstrip means coming alongside white boats is problem free.

The strong alloy hull has been designed for maximum comfort giving a softer ride and making light work of any chop. Users comment they are surprisingly roomy for a RIB.

Power is by twin Yanmar 370hp diesel engines with Hamilton 322 jet drives. A new and exciting feature is the use of Blue Arrow manoeuvrability whereby low speed steering is by a “mouse”. Berthing is so simple, just move the mouse where you want to go and the boat obliges making the extra cost of Blue Arrow very worthwhile. This Naiad is built for rugged sea conditions and performs exceptionally well in large seas.
