About Us

The Company

Tactical Marine Leasing is a small business owned by professionals with over 28 years of experience in the military & security boat leasing industry. We specialize in security boat leasing, repowering, rewiring, retrofitting, modifying, and fabricating vessel applications for government, military, and private sector operations.

L-3 Communications utilized our expertise to accommodate a Helicopter Sonar System for submarine hunting on an 11M USMI vessel, which required a sea chest, PTOs, gensets, and a motion compensation system—critical components for specialized maritime defense operations. Many of our clients have unique mission requirements, and we take pride in tackling complex challenges—from UUV launching systems to autonomous boat leasing solutions for cutting-edge defense applications.

At Tactical Marine Leasing, our experience enables us to excel where competitors struggle. Whether supporting patrol boats for leasing, integrating advanced military technology, or providing mission-ready solutions, we ensure seamless execution for government agencies, defense contractors, and private security firms.

Our commitment to excellence is built on hands-on experience, mission-tested reliability, and a deep sense of pride in what we do. We are the trusted partner for providing and maintaining military boats for lease, supporting training exercises, security operations, and offshore defense missions.

Experience

Tactical Marine Leasing operates a fleet of over 30 military and security vessels, including twin outboards, inboard/outboard (I/O) propulsion systems, and twin and single diesel jet propulsion configurations. Our vessels range from 24 to 40 feet in length, featuring cabin vessels, open cockpit setups, and full head/galley configurations with V-berths, gensets, and air conditioning for extended operations.

We provide 24-hour, year-round security operations, covering both coasts of the United States, ensuring military boat leasing solutions are available whenever and wherever they are needed. With over eight years of continuous 24/7/365 operations and more than 400,000 engine hours supporting the U.S. Navy, our experience in defense, surveillance, and high-security maritime operations is unmatched.

Additionally, we conduct NAVSEA Standard Item 009-72 waterborne services, ensuring the protection of U.S. Navy warships in repair facilities such as BAE Systems and NASSCO.
