Our work

Marine Rescue NSW saves lives on the water.

This is our mission, 24 hours a day, every day.

Members of the boating community can be confident that when they call for help, a professionally trained and equipped Marine Rescue NSW crew will be quickly under way.

Our services to the boating community include:

• 24/7 emergency Search and Rescue
• The State’s only Log On and vessel tracking service for recreational boaters, giving them the confidence of knowing a professional rescue service is keeping watch
• Around-the-clock monitoring of marine radio for distress calls from boaters in trouble along the NSW coastline
• Boating safety education and advocacy, including boat and jet ski licence and marine radio courses for boaters
