The Vedettes côtières de surveillance maritime (VCSM, "coastal boats for sea surveillance") are swift craft of the French Gendarmerie maritime.

They are based in various harbours of France, and are used for coast guard duties ranging from rescue to military tasks, including monitoring of pollution, sea police, and interception of illegal immigrants and drug traffickers.

The VCSM carry a custom-designed rigid-hull tender in a well deck.

The boats do not carry heavy armament, but light machine guns can be installed when needed.

The ships in Gendarmerie maritime service are named for rivers of the harbours in which they were initially based.
