An inside look at Sentinel Boats

Sentinel Boats is starting out 2025 with a look back at the highlight of last year – hosting a delegation from the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) to review designs for the next generation navy sea boat project.

Last year, Sentinel was awarded the contract to supply the NZDF with seventeen Sentinel 780 RHIBs, with an option of a further three to trial electric propulsion systems.

The preliminary design review is one of the most critical stages in the development of the Sentinel 780R, allowing all parties to fine tune the design both through CAD tools and a physical full-scale model.

Check out the video below to learn more about the development process for the Sentinel 780R and the way Sentinel works collaboratively with our clients.

We are looking forward to the first boats hitting the water in 2025.
