The 40 Defiant satisfies the visual-deterrent requirements of today’s naval forces with a futuristic design featuring a chiseled and menacing profile and unique faceted hull. Unlike other available welded-aluminum military patrol boat offerings, which are often hard to distinguish from a commercial work boat or even a private recreational vessel, the 40 Defiant is immediately identifiable as a no-nonsense military machine. Even in yacht tender form, the 40 Defiant’s military origins are unmistakable. The 40 Defiant features a proven hull design that has been engineered and built to precise tolerances. The vessel delivers a smooth ride in a wide range of conditions; safely and capably handling rough seas. Equipped with twin diesel inboards mated to waterjets, the 40 Defiant’s advanced running surface delivers outstanding performance, and a beam of nearly 12’ affords extra stability while at rest. By utilizing the water jet’s split-duct thrust-reversing “buckets,” the vessel can be brought from planing speed to a full stop in less than two boat lengths. Pivoting, turning, crabbing sideways, and alongside maneuvers are executed with ease, making this vessel ideal for use as a tender.

Occupants remain secure and protected from the elements within the 40 Defiant’s comfortable and spacious climate-controlled pilothouse. As a true military vessel fully customized to suit the requirements of each client, every interior is a unique creation. Shock-mitigating seating provides a superlative element of comfort; however, multiple options are offered for seating and interior treatments. (40 Defiant shown here with contoured high-backed Shockwave Corbin shock-mitigating military seating in an upgraded patrol-style configuration.)

The 40 Defiant features spacious climate-controlled belowdecks quarters that may be customized to suit client requirements. The vessel is shown here with a port-side galley featuring microwave, sink, and refrigerator. An enclosed head compartment with freshwater sink, marine head, and shower is located to starboard. Forward, a convertible v-berth with drop-down table and filler cushion provides versatility. Discrete LED lighting and ample storage space have been provided throughout. Each 40 Defiant is a fully custom creation. The vessel shown here was given an interior treatment in the “upgraded patrol craft” style to preserve an element of the vessel’s no-nonsense rugged durability. All interior treatments are determined by client tastes, budget, and desire for luxury appointments.
