Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Seal Craft?

Seal Craft is a patent-pending watercraft platform engineered for unpredictable and unsafe conditions — on ice, slush, open water, and swift-moving rivers. Built on the same core philosophy of safety, durability, and confidence, the Seal Craft lineup includes the Recreational Ice Fishing Package, the SAR Ice Rescue Airboat, and the SAR Swift Water Rescue Raft — each purpose-built for the conditions it faces.

Built for the Extreme. Engineered for Confidence.

The patent-pending 3,000-denier TPU hull was designed to handle the most extreme conditions and rugged terrain.

Quieter Than Every Other Airboat.

Operating under 85dB, Seal Craft is the quietest airboat on the ice allowing anglers the freedom to operate it anywhere.

One Boat. All-Season Performance.

Engineered to perform on ice, snow, open water, and slush, the Seal Craft Airboat goes where no other boat dares — making it the last ice vehicle you'll ever need.

The Seal Craft Airboat comfortably carries 2 to 4 adults plus gear while the Swift Water Raft carries up to 7-8 adults depending on the chosen configuration.

The TPU hull is nearly maintenance-free. It’s designed to flex under pressure instead of cracking. If damage ever occurs, repairs are simple and affordable — typically involving easy patching rather than full replacement.

Seal Craft can be stored just like an ATV or snow machine — in a standard garage or enclosed trailer. We recommend keeping it covered and out of direct sunlight when not in use to protect the hull from weathering.

Unlike traditional aluminum airboats that ride rough and crack welds on jagged ice, the Seal Craft uses a scaled Ultra Molecular HDPE (UMHDPE) hull plate that flexes and cushions the ride. It’s lighter, tougher, and designed specifically for icy terrain — not open water. The Seal Craft is also substantially quieter operating at levels under most local noise restrictions allowing anglers to operate it anywhere.

Everything about it was designed for safety. The low center of gravity, patent-pending stainless steel frame, and reduction drive system give you stability and control on uneven ice. Plus, the full windshield, ice brake, and steering column improve visibility and handling.

It depends on which Seal Craft you’re running.

The Recreational Ice Package and SAR Ice Rescue Airboat are built for ice, snow, slush, and open water. So anywhere you face unpredictable ice — from Fort Peck to Saginaw Bay and beyond – whether for fishing, transport, or rescue, the Seal Craft keeps you safe when ice conditions change fast. 

The Swift Water Rescue Raft is designed for rivers, rapids, flooded roadways, rocky channels, and debris-filled conditions where a propeller-driven boat can’t operate. Wherever conditions get dangerous and unpredictable, there’s a Seal Craft built for it.
