The Lee County Sheriff’s Office has 19 boats. Our vessels range from small rescue inflatable boats and SeaDoo’s, to our biggest triple engine boat. This fleet has the most advanced and state-of-the-art technology built in, including towable side scan sonar, underwater ROV and UAV’s.
Deputies who are assigned this specialty unit are well-versed in Lee County waters and boating safety and laws. They are trained and available to perform rescues, conduct investigations, and patrol our waterways.
Our Marine Unit was recently recognized with the Golden Lifejacket Award from SeaTow for our diligence during search and rescue calls.
