HISTORY: The Neptune series rigid hulled inflatable boats were originally developed in the early 1970’s as annexes to oil platforms located in the North and Beaufort seas. The original Neptune’s were designed to serve a variety of applications in all seasons and under all weather conditions. Polaris acquired the rights to the original designs in the late 1980’s and since that time the Neptune’s designs and constructions have evolved to meet a multitude of diversified and demanding applications.
CURRENT: The Neptune’s produced today are individually hand-built and accessorized to meet our Client’s particular environment, needs and application. Each aspect of our boat construction and assembly is considered, fabricated and installed with regards to function and durability. This series of boats is built with materials which have solidly demonstrated suitability and standards to meet the Neptune’s applications. Each Polaris Boat is built to exceed the applicable governing standards: And is also capable of facing ‘surprise’ conditions as may be imposed by unforeseen or extreme and difficult situations.
The Neptune series boats are available in aluminum or fiberglass hulls and can be accessorized in many configurations such as:
Simple open boats c/w optional consoles and seating.
With partial console or other enclosures with soft or solid roofs.
With fully enclosed cabins.
The inflatable collar as fitted onto the Neptune provides unequalled buoyancy. A well designed rigid hull, such as the Polaris, will withstand flood conditions with full payload and still be operational. Lateral stability is unsurpassed by virtue of immediate floatation.
