Did You Know?
The CCGA participates in resolving nearly one third of the SAR incidents that occur on the BC coast, either as the principal resource, or as an additional response vessel.

Our SAR boat "Auxiliary 20", is a Titan 249XL T-Top, an aluminum RIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable), powered by twin Yamaha 200HP motors, which can get us to an incident at up to around 40 knots, depending on conditions. Equiped with state of the art navigation, radar and communications. Our crews undergo regular ongoing training to master the vessel and equipment.
