The Boat is a british design. Its is called a "HUNTON GAZELLE 43" The actual Movie boat was forsale on ebay a few months back, I am not sure what it went for, when I looked it was at a bid of $160,000. I found a review of the boat here. www.ybw.com/ybw/reprints/hunton/hunton/43.html

I found this on the net:

Stars Mathew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz spend most of the first half of Sahara onboard a stunning Hunton 43 Gazelle, which is kitted out with Simrad navigation equipment. With an intense filming schedule in Morocco, the production crew required three specially adapted for filming Gazelles, two fully loaded with jet drives and one basic hull to blow up for the finale of a stunning chase scene
