Patriot Airboats / Agency boats
Patrol boats for sheriff's offices, game wardens and constables who work marsh, flooded ground and rivers a hull with a prop in the water can't reach.
Grant money or your own budget. Calcasieu Parish bought its boats with Port Security Grant funds.
The shop helps you write the bid spec: hull, power, lights, seating and agency graphics.
Open bids are fine. Jefferson County bought two Patriots on IFB 23-078. Patriot is registered in SAM.gov for federal buys.
Once your turn in line has come, it takes 17 days to build an airboat. Each one is water tested before it ships.
Deputies and wardens train with Patriot captains. Agencies buying boats get a training discount that grows with class size.
Set up for duty
Every agency boat starts with the crew, the gear you carry and the water you patrol. The shop lays out the deck around that, then puts your markings on it.
On record / August 2026
The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office Marine Division took delivery of new Patriots bought with Port Security Grant funds. They replaced older airboats and give deputies current equipment for patrolling the marsh, waterways and hard-to-reach corners of the parish.
