We currently operate two boats. Boat One is a 1998 Avon 5.4 meter Commercial Rescue RHIB with a
70 h.p. Johnson Rescue Pro motor with a pump jet. We acquired Boat Two in July of 2007. It is a 1992
21' Zodiac Hurricane RHIB with a 200 h.p. Evinrude motor and a stand-up helm. Both are equipped
with a variety of water rescue equipment and are configured to accommodate a Stokes litter
w/backboard. The normal crew is three persons trained in surface water rescue. We use the boats to
cover public events and for safety and rescue coverage of boat races as well as searches for
drowning victims. We can provide mutual aid in support of dive operations.
