The Maya series – enclosed and flexible rescue and inspection craft
The VIKING Norsafe Maya series is a state-of-the-art enclosed fast rescue craft designed for operators who demand maximum seaworthiness, protection and endurance in harsh maritime environments.
Built on a strong, deep-V planning hull with superior shock-mitigation, it maintains controlled handling and stability in high sea states, allowing crews to remain operational when other boats must turn back.
The enclosed cabin provides a weather-protected working environment with optimised seating that reduces fatigue during high-speed SAR, boarding or inspection missions.
The boat's robust construction, integrated buoyancy and a self-bailing deck ensure safety even in damaged conditions, while a heavy-duty fender system supports close-quarters manoeuvring.
Depending on size and equipment, Maya craft supports multiple means of deployment and offers self-righting capability. Purpose-built for defence, coast guard, pilot and professional response teams, the Maya series delivers all-weather capability, mission endurance and top-tier safety at sea.
Purpose-built for operators who push their craft hard, the Marathon series brings you a durable, trusted RHIB that runs fast, reacts instantly and brings its crew home safe.
Enclosed craft for superior crew protection
The VIKING Norsafe Maya series provides an enclosed, weather-protected pilothouse environment that shields crews from wind, spray and extreme conditions during fast rescue, inspection and boarding missions.
Its deep-V planning hull and integrated buoyancy deliver confident handling and stability in high sea states, ensuring Maya teams remain operational when others head for port.
Heavy-duty fendering and a self-bailing deck support close-quarters safety, making Maya the ideal choice for operators requiring all-weather protection and mission endurance.
Anti-shock seating for high-speed comfort and endurance
Engineered for long-duration missions in rough weather conditions, the Maya series features advanced shock-mitigation seating that minimises impact forces and reduces crew fatigue at high speeds. Combined with its stable deep-V hull and controlled handling in challenging seas, Maya enables operators to maintain performance across extended SAR, patrol or inspection tasks. Crews experience greater comfort, resilience and operational effectiveness, making the craft exceptionally capable in environments where endurance matters as much as speed.
Efficient multi-mission design with easy maintenance
The Maya series offers a highly adaptable platform for SAR, inspection, boarding, pilotage and defence roles, supported by multiple deployment options and self-righting capability. Robust construction, replaceable fendering and straightforward system access make routine maintenance fast and efficient, minimising downtime between missions.
Designed for reliability and mission flexibility, Maya provides operators with a durable, easy-to-service craft capable of meeting varied operational demands while maintaining maximum readiness in all weather conditions.
