Coast Guard: Mission Critical Season 1

When a fisherman goes missing off the Florida coast, USCG Air Station Miami is tasked with the impossible; finding a 14-foot boat in a vast, churned up Atlantic ocean.

Smugglers try to evade US counter narcotics intelligence, high tides trap two hikers at sunset, and rescuers search for a man struggling in the water.

USCG Key West spots plane debris; Marathon's crew hunts for survivors. In the Pacific, USCGC Munro chases drug runners.

Crews search for vessels in distress overtaken by powerful storms, a sailboat calls for help, and a rookie rescue swimmer gets his first case.

The USGC extract a stranded hiker perilously clinging to the edge of a cliff and rescue a man and his dog stranded overnight on a small remote island.

Sixty miles off the coast of Key West, Fla., a family cruise takes a terrible turn. Air Station Miami rescues a six year-old boy with a possible burst appendix and during the Covid Pandemic, a passenger is evacuated from a cruise.

A man on a cruise ship suffers a heart attack, an accident with a crab pot disables a sailboat, and storms sweep a family out to sea.

Three men and their dog are in distress offshore, the USCG trains with the canine explosives detection team, and brothers assist a fellow coast guard.

When Air Station Clearwater responds to a distress signal in the Gulf of Mexico, they find themselves in a standoff with the vessel in distress.

Air Station Miami performs their annual wet drills, then a look back at some of the season's cases, and the loss of one of their own.
