OUR Story

Crewsaver is now part of Hansen Protection, as its dedicated flotation brand. We have spent generations advancing flotation from the engineering people rarely see to the comfort and freedom they feel every time they wear it.
With a global footprint and headquarters in the UK, we’re lifejacket specialists whose pioneering designs are trusted by leading operators, watersport enthusiasts and athletes around the world.

DID YOU KNOW?
With an origin tracing back to 1957, we are the pioneers of the first gas operated lifejacket which subsequently set the benchmark for the design and function for the leisure user.
Our origin story
Our brand was first incorporated under the name ‘Crewsaver Marine Equipment Ltd’ in Gosport on the South coast of England. We’re proud to say our headquarters are still based here and located very close to our birthplace. Over the last 60+ years, we have developed a specialist knowledge in flotation. Our success in this area then prompted us to expand into general watersport sectors with our performance range of clothing, drysuits and liferafts.
Today, Crewsaver is the flotation brand of Hansen Protection. Crewsaver continues to specialise in flotation products and expertise, while Hansen Protection brings that expertise together with garments, services and other technologies to create complete professional protection systems.

Trusted to protect lives
Our expert designers work in collaboration with the most experienced marine Search and Rescue organisations, including UK's RNLI, Netherland's KNRM and France's SNSM, as well as elite athletes and defence operatives used to pushing their limits. With their unique insight we are able, step by step, to refine every aspect of our product’s design and construction. We feed these innovations directly into each of our lifejacket ranges, whether for commercial or leisure use, ensuring that whatever your reason for being afloat, your safety is never compromised.
