Customs Launch — tugs

"Did you see the Coast Guard cutting alongside, Sunshine, or a Port Authority or a Customs Launch?!"

The Customs Launch is one of the authoritative figures found in Bigg City. He was once alerted by Sunshine about Johnny Cuba and smuggled goods in a tanker.

He resembles the Coast Guard and the Port Authority.
