More than 80 years of Dutch boatbuilding expertise

For more than 80 years, Tinn Silver Fire Fighting & Rescue BV and Tinnemans Floating Solutions BV have developed and built high-quality aluminium boats in the Netherlands. Every vessel combines strength, versatility and reliability for demanding missions on the water.

Our in-house design and engineering team works closely with each customer to translate operational requirements into a fully custom-built solution. From the first concept to precision welding and final finishing, every step is handled by experienced specialists under one roof.

Fire brigades, marine police, rescue organizations and commercial operators trust our boats for their performance, clear communication and uncompromising build quality. We believe every vessel should be as unique as the mission it is built to serve.
