Safer Waters is a unique service in Northern Ireland, established in 2020 to provide a Safety Boat service for water-based community events
Our safety boat service is there to support events such as: Sailing, Swimming, Paddle Boarding, Rowing Wind surfing etc. that have no safety cover of their own or may need additional resources.
We are a club with Charity status based in Bangor Marina but we will serve all communities ie. we will travel by sea and road to your costal or inland water location.
Our members have many years of experience providing safety boat services through sailing clubs hosting regional, national and international sailing events. More recently, we have supported open water swimming, skiffie, wind surfing and stand-up paddle boarding events.
