Flare Disposal Service 

Distress flares are an essential piece of equipment for any boat. The use of a flare enables a vessel to signal that they are in distress and requiring assistance or to pinpoint the location of those who do need assistance.

Whether you are a coded vessel or a leisure user carrying on board flares is essential to aid any recovery situation. We sell both MCA Approved Flares and Leisure Flares, individually or as a pack, with the option to add flare storage for stowing the flares safely whilst onboard.

We also have a selection of electric flares that are user-friendly and can be stowed away in a grab bag or a backpack if out climbing.
