Cross Water platform in SAR configuration
Defence & Security

Mission-Ready SAR Boats and Fast Rescue Craft

One modular platform configurable for SAR, fast rescue, and water ambulance operations. Built on marine-grade aluminium, engineered for demanding Baltic and Nordic conditions.

01/What this changes

Simplify SAR. Reduce Load. Future-Proof Capability.

Cross Water Modular is designed to replace single-purpose rescue boats with one platform that reconfigures around the mission in minutes. Standardized mounting points and quick-release modules are engineered to reduce turnaround time, training burden, and fleet complexity — while improving readiness and lowering lifecycle cost.

04/The platform

Built for Demanding SAR Conditions.

The RIB 750 (7.7 m, CE Category C/B) is a typical SAR fit — up to 52 knots top speed, 1,200 kg payload, 8 persons, 2.1 m deflated beam (container compatible) for rapid deployment. The RIB 950 (Cat B) suits extended coastal SAR. The RIB 1150 (Cat B/A) extends to offshore SAR. The XW 850 W monohull (14 persons) suits water ambulance roles where patient volume matters.

Manned performance now. Autonomy-ready by design. SAR decisions stay with trained crew; autonomous search payloads are supported as an upgrade path.
