24' Search and Rescue
A reliable rescue airboat for the worst conditions
Designed to ensure that rescuers never need to be rescued, our 24’ Search and Rescue Airboat sets the worldwide standard for flood and ice rescue airboats.
Search and rescue airboat construction
The hull is designed to handle the rigors of ice travel, as well as strikes from underwater objects (such as fire hydrants or submerged automobiles). These boats also feature multiple layers of reinforced composite, married to a virtually indestructible layer of UHMW polymer.
Rated for five-foot seas in open water, our 24’ Search and Rescue Airboat can effortlessly transition from water to ice and back again. And with non-metallic hulls, our rescue airboats are an excellent choice for keeping your crew safe when power lines are down.
Water and ice rescue airboat power
Powerful and reliable, our ice rescue airboats are powered by a GM 7 liter, 520 HP, LSX engine that’s coupled to a Century Drive CH-3 or a GM 640 HP LT4. Unparalleled stability and lower aft gunwales help make rescue or recovery easy.
The boat is also heated and can fit up to 12 people. Our list of rescue options is extensive, including seating, lighting, communications and dive operations. Multiple customizable options are also available.
We’ll work with you one-on-one to ensure you get the search and rescue airboat designed to exactly fit your team’s needs.
