What are Patrol Boats?
Patrol boats, sometimes also known as police boats, are relatively small vessels designed for law enforcement, border security, search and rescue (SAR) missions, or general patrolling. Most patrol boats are owned and operated by governmental agencies. While there is not a specific size, most range from 20′-50′ long.
Given their demanding operational environments, these vessels must endure heavy use throughout the year. A well-built patrol boat not only ensures longevity but also contributes significantly to its lifelong performance and effectiveness. This makes durability is one of the most important qualities. High maneuverability for missions and comfort for the crew are also extremely important.
Who uses Patrol Boats?
As we mentioned before, patrol boats are mainly owned and operated by government agencies. The US Coast Guard is the most well-known, using their boats to keep us safe. Police departments, search and rescue organizations, and other military branches also use these versatile boats for operations.
Common uses for patrol boats include responding to emergencies, conducting routine patrols, surveillance, support, and law enforcement. Each of these tasks is unique which is why ARMOR Marine offers fully customizable options on all of our boats.

Additionally, most of our patrol boats have further optional integrated ballistics protection that provides incredible safety. This technology is the ultimate safety feature and offers unparalleled protection.
Our propriety paneling is engineered to meet NIJ III+ and NIJ IV protection standards, making it an ideal choice for patrol boats demanding exceptional security. To delve deeper into the technical specifics, visit our dedicated page here.
