CIPPB Te Kukupa is a Pacific-class patrol boat, built by Australia and operated by the Cook Islands.

[2][3] When the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Seas established that all maritime nations' exclusive economic zones extended 200 kilometres (124 mi) from their shores, Australia designed and built 22 patrol vessels that it then gave to 12 of its neighbours in the Pacific Forum, so they could exercise sovereignty over their zones, from their own resources.

Te Kukupa displaces 160 tons, and is designed to allow its crew to remain at sea for missions of up to ten days.

[7] In January 2012 Te Kukupa went to the rescue of the yacht Bonny, only to find it empty, with its lone crew-member missing.

[3][12] On November 3, 2017, Te Kukupa rescued in rough and heavy the owner of the yacht Zangano, whose engines had failed several days earlier.
