The Crewsaver brand was first incorporated under the name ‘Crewsaver Marine Equipment Ltd’ in Gosport on the South coast of England, developing a specialist knowledge in safety products and creating unique and innovative styles tailored to specific sectors of the sailing community. Due to the company’s success and high profile within the marine industry, Crewsaver expanded into general water sport sectors, extending the brand into the paddling market with the Yak range.
