Our current vessel has served us well, but it’s time for an upgrade to ensure faster response times and improved safety. At 25 years old, it’s essential to replace it to maintain our high standards of service. To date, we have raised $600,000 toward our goal of $2,000,000.

Watch the video below to learn about the life-saving work we do every day. Your contribution directly supports missions that save lives on the water, ensuring we can continue to assist those in need.

Why We Need a New Vessel

• Increased Efficiency: A new vessel means faster response times in emergencies.

• Enhanced Safety: Advanced technology and design ensure the safety of our crew and those we rescue.

• Future-Proofing: Modern equipment to meet the growing needs of our community.

• Reduced Maintenance Costs: A new vessel lowers ongoing repair and maintenance expenses, allowing us to allocate more resources to critical rescue missions.
