Search and Rescue Boats
and Law Enforcement Boats
Building superior, dedicated aluminum Search and Rescue Boats
and Law Enforcement Boats for over twenty years.
Northwind Marine builds Law Enforcement and Search and Rescue boats on RIB and Argus Class mono-hull platforms in 19 to 33- foot configurations. Currently, there is a 40-foot Extreme Class in design.
Northwind Marine’s exclusive Argus Class Hull is one of the most rugged mono-hull platforms ever built. This makes it possible to build a boat that is not only extremely fast, but will withstand just about everything that man and the elements can deliver.
Law enforcement and search & rescue agencies that rely on water access can trust Northwind Marine to provide them with the most comprehensive list of equipment and configurations on the market. Boats can be built to suit each agency’s specific needs.
