rescue boat
Emergency water vessel
A rescue boat is a vessel designed or deployed to save people in distress, particularly at sea.
Lifeboats, coast guard cutters, and inflatable craft all serve as rescue boats depending on context.
The term emphasizes function over form—any boat becomes a rescue boat when used to pull someone from the water: The rescue boat reached the capsized kayakers within minutes.
