On the eve of this year’s Southampton Boat Show, we’re proud to launch a powerful new video highlighting the incredible efforts of independent lifeboat crews safeguarding the southern coast of Great Britain. GAFIRS (Gosport and Fareham Inshore Rescue Service) have been using our SplashMaps Sea Charts since March—proving their worth in real-world rescue missions.
Our fabric charts are specifically designed for the demands of marine navigation. Unlike paper maps or bulky laminated charts, SplashMaps shrug off water, never need batteries, and are always on hand—no matter the weather or emergency. And they’re not just useful—physical maps are legally required, even on the smallest inflatable craft.
Our Sea Charts are based on official Admiralty data, giving crews the confidence they need when lives are on the line. As GAFIRS knows first-hand, having a physical map is not just a formality—it’s a crucial tool that can make all the difference.
We’re seeing growing adoption of our charts across the UK. Craobh Marina in Scotland has just placed their second order of SplashMaps Sea Charts this quarter, recognising the value they bring to both recreational sailors and maritime professionals.
From lifeboats like GAFIRS and the RNLI, to mountain rescue teams tackling remote and rugged terrain, emergency services trust SplashMaps for reliable, field-ready navigation. Our Admiralty-based fabric charts stand up to the pressures of real missions—where failure is not an option.
We’ll be on site throughout the Southampton Boat Show, and we’d love to connect. Whether you’re interested in upgrading your vessel’s navigation gear or equipping your emergency team, get in touch to arrange a meet-up. Let’s talk about how SplashMaps Sea Charts can work for you.
Stay safe. Stay ready. SplashMaps Sea Charts—Always On, Always Reliable.
