Patrol Boat 3864

The second patrol vessel we are introducing is “64” Morro Bay’s Harbor Patrol’s finest and most versatile asset.  The 64 was built in 2013 by D.R. Radon boats in Goleta California.  This vessel was designed from the keel up by the Harbor Patrol for our many missions.  The hull is extra thick and structurally reinforced to meet the demands of rough water operations and the towing of large vessels.   64 has been proving her worth, making many rescues in these last few exceptionally rough winters.  Along with being our main rescue and response boat, 64 is also a fully equipped fire boat.  She is built to meet the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards for fire boats.
