The Canadian Coast Guard has had two motor lifeboats named CCGS Clarks Harbour.[1] The first was a 13-metre (43 ft) vessel, which entered service in 1996.

The second is a Canadian Coast Guard Arun-class lifeboat, based on the United Kingdom 15.77-metre (51.7 ft) Arun-class motor lifeboat design.[2] She is staffed by a crew of four.[3]
