Plan B Marine offers a genuinely unique private transportation service in New York City: military-grade, all-weather response boats kept fueled, maintained, and ready at a secure West Side Manhattan location for rapid water evacuation or point-to-point transit when bridges, tunnels, or public transit are unavailable. Founded by former telecom executives with hands-on experience restoring and outfitting ex-military vessels, the business combines maritime know-how with serious contingency planning expertise.
The fleet includes 25-foot SAFE Boat Defenders, 7-meter Zodiacs, 8-meter SeaArks, and a 33-foot SAFE Boat Interceptor built to U.S. Navy standards with triple 1000HP outboard engines — all featuring heated cabins and seating for at least 10 passengers. Clients receive hands-on training to pilot their own boat, so there’s no need to wait on a captain, and boat leases are available daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
Plan B Marine has been featured on HBO’s Vice, ABC7 Eyewitness News, Spectrum NY1, Dutch television news, and in the New York Post for its distinctive niche in security and evacuation planning for executives and high-net-worth clients in Manhattan.
For businesses, security teams, or individuals in Manhattan looking for a secure, self-piloted water transportation and evacuation option, Plan B Marine offers a media-featured, highly specialized leasing service unlike a typical charter or rental business.
