The San Diego Seals fleet consists of 5 amphibious vehicles
produced specifically for the tourism
industry and for search/rescue operations. They are capable of
operating in high winds, rains, and floods. They can drive into
an area of heavy flooding and simply boat through it. These
vehicles feature high performance all wheel drive, turbo diesel
engine, automatic transmission, heavy-duty suspension system, 49
passengers or 8,000 lbs. of cargo capacity, 75 mph on road speed
and 7 knots in the water.
These are the only amphibious vehicles ever made that could be
driven high speed coast to coast if you wanted to. In water,
floor level to the water is only about 15" this aids in water
rescue and ease of loading victims and rescue personnel from the
water. Supplies loading and unloading is easy with a 48" wide
door, which is standard on the search and rescue versions. Large
open deck area provides plenty of room for generators, rescue
gear, litters, search gear, fire fighting equipment, etc. |

These vessels are completely U.S.Coast Guard approved and meet
all regulations for passenger vessels. Meet department of
transportation requirements and in fact even come equipped with
driver and passenger side air bags. Every effort has been made
to make these vehicles the strongest and safest possible.
