SEARCH AND RESCUE / Water Safety
For life-threatening emergencies call 911 or hail the US Coast Guard on VHF Channel 16
We have a captain and boat on standby 24/7 to respond to calls of assistance.
Our ‘Defender’ vessel is a fast rescue boat equipped with radar, thermal imaging, spotlights, multiple marine radios, aviation comms, AIS system for vessel identification, water rescue equipment, and medical supplies.
The latest technology in electronic navigational charts enables us to run precise search-grid patterns. Side imaging sonar allows mapping of the sea floor in search of submerged objects, and the shallow draft lets us operate in areas with as little as 5 feet of water.
Our captains and crew are trained water safety professionals - all familiar with boat operations in high-stress situations, while working with rescue swimmers and divers.
We work as safety boats on film shoots, around construction sites, 24/7 security patrols and maintain security zones for naval vessels and firework barges.
