Man Overboard Boat (MOB)
Specialist rescue solutions for superyachts
A man overboard boat, also known as a MOB boat, is a critical part of any superyacht’s safety equipment. Designed for rapid deployment, a MOB boat enables fast recovery of a person overboard and efficient liferaft marshalling. At Boating Matters, we supply and support MOB boats that meet the highest safety standards while delivering exceptional performance – even in challenging conditions.

Our MOB boat range
RESQ 4m “Roll Up” Inflatable
The RESQ 4m “Roll Up” is the lightest and most compact man overboard boat on the market, making it an ideal choice for superyachts where storage space is at a premium. Its innovative high-pressure inflatable floor offers outstanding stability, even in choppy waters, ensuring crew safety during recovery operations. Designed for quick assembly and deployment, this MOB boat can be stored in minimal space, transported with ease, and launched rapidly in emergency situations. Perfect for yachts that require a reliable rescue solution without sacrificing valuable deck space.
W415DJ Dieseljet MOB
The W415DJ Dieseljet is the smallest dieseljet inboard MOB boat in the world, combining exceptional rescue capabilities with premium tender comfort. Seating up to six passengers, it functions not only as a fully compliant rescue tender but also as a guest-level transport option for shore trips. Its powerful inboard dieseljet engine delivers excellent acceleration and handling, making it equally suited for high-speed water sports such as waterskiing. Compact, versatile, and built to the highest standards, the W415DJ is a multi-purpose asset for any superyacht.
Safe launch and recovery – even in rough seas
Launching and recovering a man overboard boat in bad weather is one of the most demanding tasks faced by any crew. High winds, heavy swell, and reduced visibility can all turn a rescue operation into a high-risk situation. That’s why our MOB boats are engineered with stability, control, and safety at the forefront.
From reinforced lifting points and secure davit compatibility to hull designs that cut through waves with minimal impact, every detail is built to make deployment and retrieval as smooth as possible. These design features allow for rapid response times, even when conditions are far from ideal, reducing the risk to both rescuers and those in need. By ensuring fast, controlled handling in all sea states, our MOB boats give you the confidence to act decisively when every second counts.
