The impressive 35 Defiant was designed to provide the ultimate advantage to law enforcement, port security, and military forces. With a stout hull made of 1/4” thick plates of welded aluminum, power options up to 900 horsepower, and the tremendous stability afforded by its 11’ 5” beam, it is without question a vessel to be reckoned with.

In foul weather and heavy seas, the entire crew remains comfortable and secure within its roomy cabin. Inside the welded aluminum pilothouse with large, opening windows, the spacious helm offers an ideal vantage point. With an array of custom-installed electronics within easy reach and myriad custom options including climate control, weapons mounts, gun racks, multiple storage compartments, and more, everything has been designed for convenience and no-nonsense efficiency.

On-water boarding, even in unfavorable conditions, is effortless thanks to Metal Shark’s oversized, impact-absorbing, foam-filled urethane collar. Dive operations are facilitated via an available tubular aluminum transom platform that features a surprisingly usable retractable dive ladder.

Naturally, the 35 Defiant features wide-open cockpit workspace with non-skid floors and ideally placed handrails. Wide gunnels provide sure footing, and the foredeck may be easily accessed via a large forward hatch. A full-height transom provides security and mammoth scuppers assure a fully self-bailing cockpit, so that this intrepid 35-footer and its crew will conduct their missions in any climate, or any conditions.

Designed for security, patrol, and enforcement operations, the Metal Shark Defiant Series have recently been chosen by the United States Navy. Go all-weather, all the time, in a Metal Shark Defiant.
