The RCMP policies [[Canadian Internal Waters]], including the [[Territorial waters|territorial sea]] and contiguous zone as well as the [[Great Lakes]] and [[Saint Lawrence Seaway]]; such operations are provided by the RCMP's Federal Services Directorate and include enforcing Canada's environment, fisheries, customs, and immigration laws. In provinces and municipalities where the RCMP performs contract policing, the service polices freshwater lakes and rivers.

To meet these challenges, the RCMP operates the Marine Division, with five [[Robert Allan Ltd.]]–designed high-speed [[catamaran]] [[Police watercraft|patrol vessels]]; ''Inkster'' and the ''Commissioner''-class ''Nadon'', ''Higgitt'', ''Lindsay'' and ''Simmonds'', based on all three coasts and manned by officers specially trained in maritime enforcement. ''Inkster'' is based in Prince Rupert, BC, ''Simmonds'' is stationed on Newfoundland's south coast, and the rest are on the Pacific Coast.<ref name="rcmp-grc.gc.ca">{{cite web|url=http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/mari/index-eng.htm |title=Marine Services |publisher=Rcmp-grc.gc.ca |access-date=May 22, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100622064451/http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/mari/index-eng.htm |archive-date=June 22, 2010 }}</ref> ''Simmonds''<nowiki/>' livery is unique, in that it sports the RCMP badge, but is otherwise painted with [[Canadian Coast Guard]] colours and the marking ''Coast Guard Police''. The other four vessels are painted with blue and white RCMP colours.

The RCMP operates 377 smaller boats, defined as vessels less than {{convert|9.2|m|abbr=on}} long, at locations across Canada. This category ranges from [[canoe]]s and car toppers to rigid-hulled inflatables and stable, commercially built, inboard-outboard vessels. Individual detachments often have smaller high-speed [[rigid-hulled inflatable boat]]s and other purpose-built vessels for inland waters, some of which can be hauled by road to the nearest launching point.<ref name="rcmp-grc.gc.ca"/>
