Designed for rapid deployment and extraction in high-risk littoral environments, the Commando Raiding Craft delivers speed, control, and adaptability for special forces, amphibious units, and tactical response teams. Compact, agile, and mission-focused, this 9-metre craft balances open-deck flexibility with robust construction for operation in surf zones, river mouths, and contested shorelines.
Mission Profiles
Special forces insertion and extraction in hostile or austere environments
Beach raids and tactical landings on soft or unstable shorelines
Covert surveillance and reconnaissance patrols in estuarine or tidal zones
Drone and UxV deployment support in amphibious mission packages
Casualty evacuation or personnel recovery under time-critical scenarios
Shallow river operations and inland tactical mobility
The CRC is built for speed under pressure, giving forces a decisive edge when terrain, tide, and timing all matter.
The CRC's modular design allows for rapid reconfiguration to support various mission profiles.

The CRC is a 9-metre aluminium raiding craft engineered for speed, manoeuvrability, and modularity. Its hull is optimised for both coastal transit and high-agility approach under variable loads. With its aft helm configuration and open-plan deck, the CRC offers superior visibility and balance under throttle, enabling precise control during beach landings and tactical manoeuvres.
Proven through design evolution and operator feedback, the CRC reflects Griffon’s expertise in balancing mission focus with robust marine engineering.
