We we’re out on sea trials with the two newly launched Interceptor 48 pilot boats when the Port of Cork pilot boat ‘Failte’ passed by to undertake a pilot transfer from an outbound ship. It was a nice opportunity to capture some cool video of the action as the boats ran alongside before the ship turned to create a lee for the pilot to disembark. Although the seas weren’t very big, it was blowing hard at the time with gusts of over 50kts recorded at Roches PT lighthouse as we passed. | Safehaven

Here is a pretty cool little video of the rough weather sea trials of our XSV20 'Thunder Child II' and Interceptor 48 all weather pilot boat 'Maskulin'. Undertaken with her owner Tommy Fonnes during a violent storm that hit the South Coast of Ireland a few days before, and in preparation for his 850nm North Sea Winter delivery voyage to Norway. We captured some great footage of both boats as they faced the sometimes challenging conditions. | Safehaven Marine

Here's a pretty cool video of our record run in the over 50ft class for the Cork to the Fastnet Rock and back UIM World powerboat record, in our 23m long XSV20 ‘Thunder Child II’. We did it in a time of 2hrs 36 minutes averaging 44.6kts, which is pretty good I think for a 23m boat, recording a maximum speed of 53kts on the run.

Here’s a cool Ariel video of the Interceptor 48 pilot boat we just launched for the Port of Leixoes, Portugal during rough weather sea trials yesterday. We captured some really stunning drone footage of her over the sea. She handles fabulously, capable of 25kts and carrying 7 pilots and crew, ‘Lada’ marks our 39th Pilot boat supplied Worldwide. Our Interceptor 48 has proved to be a really successful pilot boat design, 14 built to date with currently four more on order. | Safehaven Marine

Safehaven Marine have just launched an Interceptor 48 pilot ‘Ederra 7’, the second of a 2 boat contract with the MVD Pilots Association, Montevideo, Uruguay. She follows Ederra 6, delivered to Uruguay in July this year. Here’s a nice video with some fabulous drone footage of her undergoing rough weather sea trials off Roches PT, Cork during a gale, ensuring she’s well up to the task of an ‘All weather pilot boat’ before she will be shipped to the pilots later in November. | Safehaven Marine

Here is a nice little video of the launch and performance sea trials of our 2nd XSV20 we built for Jack Setton. She sure does look mighty cool and runs fabulously, reaching over 45kts. At 23m long she carries a 4m crane launched C-Fury RIB and is powered by a pair of Caterpillar C18 1,150hp engines and ZF gearboxes. Propulsion is by Marine Jet Power 350 Hybrid waterjets, and incorporating her Hysucraft hydrofoil and a Humphere interceptor system she runs beautifully. In a few weeks time when fin

Here’s a nice video of the rough weather sea trials of San Ciprian’s new Interceptor 42 Pilot boat ‘San Ciprano’. With the Covid-19 travel restrictions in place and the Guys from San Ciprian unable to fly here at present we’re having to do a remote ‘on-line handover’. So we made this video to give them every confidence that she is performing well, as she handled comfortably the stormy conditions prevailing on the South Coast of Ireland last Friday, with winds of 50kts at the entrance to Cork Har

With winds of Storm Force 11 and heavy breaking waves conditions were pretty wild, and proved a good test for her seakeeping abilities, especially her stability where she recovered nicely from a hard 90 degree knock down. Also respect to the seamanship of the captain aboard Fokko Ukena whom we filmed and accompanied as he bought her in through the entrance to Cork Harbour in ver
