They're using a rigid hull inflatables made by Zodiac. The website says 6 cylinder diesels, but I've seen pics of outboards.

They also have the SOC-R for river missions.

They also have the Mark V Special Operations Craft for longer missions.

11 meters long is a big inflatable. My buddy has one that’s about 12-14 feet long with a gas outboard. We use it for diving for abalone just offshore

MK V is long-gone and the SOC-R is on the way out if not already gone. Multiple iterations of watercraft have replaced them...Combatant Craft Assault, Medium, and Heavy variants are most current. The High-Speed Assault Craft was the predecessor to the CCA which took most of the mission work from the RHIB.
