Silver Ships is proud to have recently delivered an Explorer 26 Dive Support Vessel to the Tempe Fire Department in Arizona. This vessel will allow the fire department to service the community, as well as provide safety and assurance to the community while they are on the water.

This 26-foot landing craft will support dive operations on Tempe Town Lake and Salt River, as well as serve as a general purpose rescue boat. Outfitted with a bow gate and dive door, the vessel will allow for quick and efficient dives in both of these bodies of water. It is powered by a single Honda 250HP outboard and will be smooth to maneuver for quick operations.

This vessel is specifically designed with a larger T-Top for increased protection from the sun in the warm Tempe climate. This will make it more comfortable for those working on the boat and let them stay on the water for hours on end without heat exhaustion.

Our team is excited to see how this vessel will help the community of Tempe and we look forward to continuing the growth of the Silver Ships’ fleet across the United States to help communities stay safe on the water.
