26ft custom-built, semi-V aluminum research vessel designed by CMS to support a wide range of coastal and offshore field operations. Powered by twin Yamaha 200 hp outboards, the vessel offers excellent range and efficiency, with shallow-draft capability (<2 ft) for access to both nearshore and inland environments. The vessel features a climate-controlled enclosed cabin, advanced navigation and radar systems, and onboard connectivity for remote operations. A spacious working deck, 400 lb-capacity davit and winch, and deck-mounted capstan support efficient deployment and retrieval of scientific equipment, making R/V Iris well-suited for hydrographic surveys, environmental monitoring, and sampling missions.

21 ft custom Hanko’s aluminum vessel serves as a versatile platform for coastal and inland field operations. Powered by a 200 hp Yamaha outboard, the vessel provides efficient performance and shallow-water access for projects in marsh, estuarine, and nearshore environments. Its open layout and maneuverability make it well-suited for environmental monitoring, biological sampling, hydrographic support, and equipment deployment in areas requiring flexibility and rapid mobilization.

15 ft airboat, built on a Mark’s Hull and powered by a 7.4L GM 454 engine, is designed for access to extremely shallow and vegetated environments where traditional vessels are limited. With seating for up to four personnel, it provides a stable and efficient platform for operations in marsh, wetland, and backwater areas. The vessel is well-suited for environmental monitoring, biological sampling, vegetation surveys, and field support in remote or low-water conditions, enabling reliable access to challenging project sites.

18 ft Gator Trax vessel, powered by a 35 hp Mud Buddy surface drive, is designed for shallow-water access in marsh, estuarine, and backwater environments. The surface drive system allows for reliable operation in low-water conditions while minimizing disturbance compared to airboat operations. The vessel is well-suited for environmental monitoring, biological sampling, and vegetation surveys where quiet, low-impact access is preferred, providing an efficient platform for fieldwork in sensitive habitats.

24 ft Reno skiff, powered by twin Suzuki 150 hp outboards, is specifically outfitted to support marine debris detection and removal operations. The vessel features integrated winches and custom framing to facilitate efficient recovery of debris, including derelict fishing gear and submerged materials. The vessel is also equipped with side-scan and live imaging sonar systems to support real-time detection and targeting of submerged debris and features. In addition to debris operations, the platform supports net tows and biological sampling, providing a versatile solution for fisheries surveys and environmental fieldwork.

10 ft jon boat, powered by a 3.5 hp Mercury outboard, provides a highly portable solution for fieldwork in small and difficult-to-access waterbodies. Lightweight and transportable in a standard truck bed, the vessel can be rapidly deployed to ponds, canals, and remote locations without the need for a trailer. The platform is well-suited for targeted sampling, water quality monitoring, and small-scale surveys where mobility and access are critical, supporting efficient field operations in confined or isolated environments.
