SEARCH & RESCUE BOATS:
FOR WHEN FAILURE ISN’T AN OPTION

In Search and Rescue missions, reliability and consistency are critical to the success of the mission. The boats that are used for these operations need to be light enough to keep going continuously for long stretches of time, sturdy enough to carry very heavy loads, and stable enough to navigate all sea conditions – smooth and rough.

Ocean Craft Marine’s specially engineered Search and Rescue boats more than meet these criteria. Our Search and Rescue RHIBs are capable of carrying exceptionally heavy loads, at extremely high speeds in high sea state as well as shallow waters. They are also designed with a Surface Effect Air hull® that allows the boats to withstand rough sea conditions as well as make tactical turns with ease. Customizations to aid rescue activities add to the versatility of these boats, making them a standout choice in a sea of offerings.
