Police boat hire services

CRC are the only UK charter company to have ‘ACPO Police Code’ coded vessels on fleet, equipped and ready to go. We supply Ribs for tasks ranging from one off events to long term contract hire. CRC supplied 42 police boats to Dorset Police Authority for the 2012 Olympic Games, including the long term charter of a cabin Rib. CRC supplied 24 Ribs to the Police Service of Northern Ireland for the 2013 G8 summit.

Dorset Police testimonial

“We would like to congratulate you on your excellent management of the detail and complexity during the extensive preparations leading up to the 2012 Games, and your flawless delivery during the Olympic Games themselves. Keeping so many boats on full operational duty, many with 24 hour availability with a near 100% service level is a full testament to every aspect of your operation. Well done indeed.”
