Inflatable Boats: Futura Commando™
The Zodiac Futura Commando (FC470™)
Part of Zodiac's CRRC™ Range
Battle tested
The Zodiac CRRC™ range is comprised of the F470™, F530™ and F420™. These CRRC's™ are the most widely used in the world. Well known throughout the world as the definitive Special Forces boat, it is used by more elite soldiers and sailors than any other craft worldwide. It is the only craft of its type that has actually been used in combat in different theatres and comes thru with flying colors. This is a result of its unique patented hull shape and various floor systems that allows it to carry combatants in a variety of missions. The hull shape is especially important as it can get a large load on the plane as well as give the driver unsurpassed manoeuvrability in different and often dangerous conditions. Continually being updated for its ever-changing roles, the FC™ range is Zodiac's most recognizable military boat.
