A record 165 migrants reached the UK in a single boat, the Home Office has confirmed.
The number broke the previous record from July, when 128 crossed the Channel from France in one vessel.
Border Security Command was pictured towing a mega dinghy - estimated to be the same size as a standard bus at 13m (42ft) long - when it arrived in Dover on Thursday afternoon.
A Home Office spokesperson said the crossing served as a "stark reminder that criminal gangs have no regard for the safety of those they claim to help".
"The reality is clear and lives are being lost in the Channel," they added.
A total of 162 people died in the busy waterway between 2018 and 2025, according to the University of Oxford's Migration Observatory.
This rises to 257 when considering other migration-related deaths in the area, such as accidents involving people trying to board lorries bound for the UK, it added.
Care4Calais said the route was becoming more dangerous because of the increasing numbers of people per boat.
"The UK and French governments have spent years focusing on border security and enforcement, yet all they've achieved is to make Channel crossings more and more dangerous," said Sydney Sopher from the refugee charity.

“The reality is clear and lives are being lost in the Channel,” they added.
The reality is you are being invaded by people who want to kill you and you’re helping them. I hate effing suicidal idiots.
I wish they could kill only themselves, but they won’t.
They’re more like the guards at Jonestown.
The boats would be strafed in a sane world...
It would stop immediately if they used the invaders boats as target practice and promised more if they persist. Problem solved.
They should have had one of those mega dinghies when they were evacuating the beaches of Dunkirk.
The pic looks like it is all guys too, likely a few rapists in that bunch.
Take a page out of the Iranian Islamofacists. Put mines in the Channel.
Heck, put mines in the Channel shaped like large pigs. The invaders might just turn around.
“The pic looks like it is all guys too, likely a few rapists in that bunch.”
At this point the UK is so suicidal that it makes no sense to risk the lives of their women and children, since they’ll soon be flown-in, at British Taxpayer expense of course. And, if some are rapists, so much the better, as that seems to attract College-Educated Women to their side.
They don’t really have an operational Navy, no matter what they claim, and if they did (and when they did in the recent past) they refused to use it to stop the ongoing invasion at all. They might as well not have a Navy.
SINK THE GOD DAMNED BOATS WITH ALL ON BOARD. This is an invasion by violent trash who want to kill and rape Europeans.
538 illegal migrants have crossed the English Channel in the 5 days since @AndyBurnham took power.

Migrants men are now using mega dinghies to cross the English Channel that can carry up to 165 fighting age men. Things are ramping up and the British government doesn’t do anything. They will be using ships next. pic.twitter.com/Yq5FPPAxEE— HJB News (@HJB_News__) July 24, 2026
Kinda makes you want to suggest no fault rape defense against underemployed liberal white women. They seem to have voted for it thinking they would get a payout for having a high social credit score. But ma’am you already got your free sex. You can’t expect us to pay you for the service you axed for.
So all the Germans needed to do is have large dinghies and the invasion coild have happened?😂😎
How far England has fallen
It’s not rape if you are a Muslim, aloha snackbar 😎
Several reports I have seen suppprt your claims.
Not that it matters but the British may not have even one serviceable submarine 🤔
