How can you help Coastguard "Save lives at sea"

What do we do?

It’s simple really.  Coastguard is dedicated to “Saving lives at sea”.  24/7, 365 days of the year Professional Volunteers are on call, ready to respond to a distress call.

At sea anything can go wrong in a very short period of time.  Rescues can be from simply “the boat wont start” to a man over board, hitting a submerged object or even one of the crew suffering a medical emergency.

It’s good to know that when you need us – we’ll be there.

Who are we?

The Royal New Zealand Coastguard Inc (Coastguard NZ) is a non-profit charitable organisation.  Coastguard is the primary provider of maraine search and rescue services to the New Zealand public.
