| RA-1 | Rescue Boat (SOLAS Approved) | 225 | 22 | 6 | Fiberglass hull and deck, 2-person aluminum console, high capacity deck drains fitted with scupper trunks, handheld search light |
| RA-2 | Survey Launch | 350 | 25 | 6 | Designed as a soft riding, stable vessel, this small craft is particularly useful for personnel working with objects close alongside in the water or under the vessel. The intended use is for this vessel is shoreline survey; it is equipped with 2 Trimble ProXRS “backpack” GPS Receivers with TSCe Data Collectors. The vessel is jet driven, allowing exceptional maneuverability over shallow obstructions which would limit traditional propeller driven vessels. |
| RA-3 | Survey Launch | 490 | 29 | 10 | Fully equipped multibeam acquisition system including Kongsberg EM2040, and Applanix PosMV position and orientation system. Additionally, launch is equipped with a Furuno GR-80 Differential Beacon Receiver DGPS, a SeaBird CTD, and a SVP-71 Velocimeter. |
| RA-4 | Survey Launch | 490 | 29 | 10 | Fully equipped multibeam acquisition system including Kongsberg EM2040, and Applanix PosMV position and orientation system. Additionally, launch is equipped with a Furuno GR-80 Differential Beacon Receiver DGPS, a SeaBird CTD, and a SVP- 71 Velocimeter. |
| RA-5 | Survey Launch | 490 | 29 | 10 | Fully equipped multibeam acquisition system including Kongsberg EM2040, and Applanix PosMV position and orientation system. Additionally, launch is equipped with a Furuno GR-80 Differential Beacon Receiver DGPS, a SeaBird CTD, and a SVP- 71 Velocimeter. |
| RA-6 | Survey Launch | 490 | 29 | 10 | Fully equipped multibeam acquisition system including Kongsberg EM2040, and Applanix PosMV position and orientation system. Additionally, launch is equipped with a Furuno GR-80 Differential Beacon Receiver DGPS, a SeaBird CTD, and a SVP- 71 Velocimeter. |
| RA-7 | SAFE Boat | 150 | 19 | 8 | Custom fused polyethylene foam, particularly useful in sub-zero temperatures and in the presences of petroleum products. Coated with pure polyurethane for UV protection and abrasion resistance. |
| RA-8 | SeaArk | 200 | 19 | 8 | Hull design is advantageous for its shallow draft and inherent stability |
| AUS | Capable of deployment and recovery of small unmanned aerial systems such as the ScanEagle. No UAS systems are currently carried by Rainier. |
