Why Seal Craft for Search & Rescue

Lightweight. Fast to Deploy.

At approximately 900 lbs, the Seal Craft SAR airboat is dramatically lighter than traditional rescue airboats — allowing faster deployment, easier transport, and access to areas heavier units simply can’t reach. Launch quickly, operate efficiently, and reduce the manpower required to get on scene.

Built for Thin & Unpredictable Ice

Designed specifically to handle extreme ice rescues with thin or broken ice, open water, pressure ridges, and unstable surfaces — where traditional aluminum boats and sleds fail. The Seal Craft SAR gives crews confidence when conditions are at their worst.

Quiet Operation — Clear Communication on Scene

Unlike traditional airboats, the Seal Craft SAR unit operates at significantly lower noise levels — allowing teams to communicate clearly during critical rescue operations without competing against engine noise.

Inflatable TPU Hull — Built for Impact

The 2,000-denier military-grade TPU inflatable hull with its detachable HDP skid plate is engineered for extreme cold and harsh conditions. It absorbs impact, flexes to resist damage, and performs in environments where rigid aluminum or fiberglass hulls fall short.

OPERATIONAL RANGE

Designed for Ice, Slush & Open Water

From frozen lakes to thawing shorelines, the Seal Craft SAR airboat transitions seamlessly between ice, slush, and open water — giving rescue teams a single platform for year-round response.

Whether responding to a breakthrough victim, navigating pressure ridges, or accessing remote shorelines, this is a true multi-condition rescue airboat.

Built for departments across Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other northern regions that need a capable ice rescue solution — without the six-figure cost of traditional airboats.
