Mako redningsbåt er beregnet som mann-over-bord-båt for kommersiell skipsfart og offshore, og fyller et hull på markedssiden. Båten er meget funksjonell og usedvanlig manøvreringsdyktig. Mako er verdens første med en helt integrert veltebøyle som gjør båten selvrettende ved kantring. Båten har ståseter som sparer ryggen ved slag i høye hastigheter.
