Search & Rescue Watercraft

Jet-Powered Swift Water Rescue Raft

The Seal Craft Jet-Propulsion Rescue Boat is built for performance and control when shallow water access is critical. Designed for real-world response conditions, it combines a heavy-duty inflatable hull with jet propulsion to deliver exceptional maneuverability, shallow water capability, and access to debris-filled situations.

Available in 14’/25HP or 16’/40HP configurations. Starting at $22,900 including custom trailer.

Inflatable TPU Hull

Lightweight. Fast to Deploy.

Just under 500lbs, the Seal Craft jet propulsion swift water rescue boat is dramatically lighter than aluminum boats and rigid rescue craft — allowing faster deployment, easier trailering, and access to launch points that heavier units can’t reach. Get on the water faster when minutes matter.

Built for Rivers, Rocks, and Shallow Water

Designed specifically for the conditions that wreck traditional rafts and dent aluminum hulls. Shallow water access, submerged debris, rocky riverbeds — the Seal Craft jet boat takes it. Where propeller-driven boats stop, this keeps going.

Inflatable TPU Hull — Built for Impact

The patent-pending 3,000-denier TPU inflatable hull is engineered for extreme puncture and abrasion resistance. It’s built to absorb impact, flex around obstacles, and resist puncture and tears in environments where rigid hulls or PVC fails. Whether it’s a submerged log, rocky rapids, or a debris-choked channel, this hull is built to take the hit and keep responding.

OPERATIONAL RANGE

Rivers, Rapids & Flood Conditions

From fast-moving river channels to flooded roadways, the Seal Craft jet rescue boat transitions seamlessly across conditions that stop conventional watercraft. Jet propulsion eliminates the vulnerability of exposed propellers — allowing operation in debris fields, extreme shallows, and rocky terrain where a standard outboard would be destroyed.

Whether responding to a swift water entrapment, a flood evacuation, or a remote river access call, this is a true multi-condition rescue platform.

Built for departments across flood-prone regions and river corridors who need a capable swift water solution — without the six-figure cost of traditional rescue craft.

What Sets it apart?

Patent-Pending Inflatable TPU Hull

Most inflatable rafts are built with 1200-denier PVC — adequate for calm water, but prone to abrasion, tears, and puncture damage when exposed to rocks, debris, and high-stress conditions over time.

The Seal Craft hull is built with 3,000-denier TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) — a fundamentally superior material. TPU’s molecular structure delivers superior elasticity and impact absorption, meaning it flexes around obstacles instead of tearing on them. It resists punctures, holds up under repeated abrasion, and maintains performance in the harsh environments rescue teams actually operate in. It’s also rated for up to -140°F making it reliable for some of the most critical cold water rescue scenarios.

For a rescue platform operating in the field, that difference matters every single deployment.
