Metal Shark’s 32 Defiant Fire Rescue is a proven welded aluminum monohull vessel ideal for fire fighting and emergency response. Like all Metal Sharks, the 32 Defiant may be fully customized to meet virtually any mission requirement.

The 32 Defiant features a proven Metal Shark hull design that has been engineered and built to precise tolerances. To achieve its superior hull life rating, the vessel’s hull, deck, and superstructure are composed entirely of heavy, precision-welded plates of corrosion-resistant 5086 aluminum-magnesium alloy. The Defiant-class running surface has been designed for maximum efficiency and performance. This efficiency, combined with the vessel’s durable construction, results in the lowest possible operating cost while at the same time assuring maximum performance. Thanks to its wide beam and pronounced reverse chines, the 32 Defiant is extremely stable, and twin 300 HP outboard engines require minimum maintenance while reliably propelling the vessel to speeds in excess of 45 knots. The 32 Defiant features an uncluttered, no-nonsense layout designed for crew friendliness. Wide, non-skid walkways feature low-level LED lighting for night missions, and crew members will find hand rails and grab handles within easy reach at all times. A urethane-sheathed closed-cell foam collar provides optimum impact protection during alongiside maneuvers. The 32 Defiant may be configured with an open bow cockpit or a closed foredeck with cuddy beneath
