Selected
(high-)speed boats
Appears to be much the simplest option and without any smuggling conotations. "lanchas rapidas y planeadoras" = "high-speed and planing boats"

lanchas son pequenos botes (no barcos)
no creo que se la dice Craft aqui en US, eso para el desembarque.
lanchas rapidas es lo mismo que botes rapidos
