Icelandic Coast Guard

Rafnar is the vessel of choice for the Icelandic Coast Guard, a part of the Icelandic military. The sea conditions around Iceland are some of the most demanding in the world, requiring a special type of vessel which can handle these hellish waters. Rafnar enables them to operate safely and efficiently, no matter what nature throws at them.

I was blown away by how stable the boat was and how safe and comfortable I felt in it even whilst doing nearly 30 knots into the waves. I now feel that no other boat is ever going to be able to compare...

What Rafnar has is something unique, and something that largely fulfills its stated aims. In a world awash with hyperbole, that is quite an achievement.
