V Series
Faster 53 SCW
Versatile side console workboat. Rescue, patrol, and diving operations on lakes and coastal waters.
- 5.37 m LOA
- 30 knots
- CE Cat C
- 7 persons
The Faster 53 SCW is a versatile side console workboat designed for rescue, patrol, and light operational duties on lakes, rivers, and sheltered coastal waters. Its CE Cat C rating makes it suitable for more demanding conditions than smaller inland workboats — bridging the gap between compact first-response vessels and larger professional platforms.
The side console layout provides generous deck space alongside the console — enough to accommodate stretchers for casualty transport. The bow hatch makes boarding, disembarking, and dive operations straightforward, even in confined locations without fixed infrastructure.
Like all Faster V Series vessels, the 53 SCW is built on a proven hull shared with the recreational boat range — a hull design recognised for its handling characteristics and agile performance across varying conditions.

Certified for more exposed waters than comparable inland workboats, extending the operational range of the vessel
