The MV Sharpie was a vessel owned and operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society starting in December 2017.

[4][5] The ship was an Island-class patrol boat built by Bollinger Shipyards, Lockport, Louisiana and first launched in 1991 as the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Bainbridge Island.

[1] The vessel was purchased by Medtech entrepreneur Chris Sharp and donated to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and it was presented at a press conference on 11 December 2017 in Miami, Florida.

She is 34-metre (112 ft) long, powered by two Caterpillar diesel engines, and can travel at a maximum speed of 29.5 knots (54.6 km/h; 33.9 mph) with a range of 3,300 nautical miles (6,100 km; 3,800 mi).

[6] In January 2019, a "mob of over 50 skiffs" threw Molotov cocktails and rocks, burning the MV Sharpie's hull and breaking windows.
