Coastguard West Coast

Nestled on the picturesque shores of the West Coast, Coastguard West Coast stands as a beacon of safety, community, and dedication. For over four decades, we've been a cornerstone of our vibrant coastal community, tirelessly serving both locals and visitors alike. Our story began in 1980, when a group of passionate individuals joined forces to form Coastguard West Coast. They recognized the unique challenges posed by our rugged coastline and pledged to provide marine search and rescue services and vessel assistance, ensuring that the spirit of adventure on the West Coast remained safe. Today, we are proud to be a part of the larger Coastguard network, an organization that prides itself on its volunteer services. Our team members, hailing from all walks of life and sharing a common love for our coast, dedicate their time, skills, and resources to ensure the safety of our waters. But we're not just about emergency response. Education is at the heart of what we do. We strive to empower everyone with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate our waters confidently and responsibly. From boat safety courses to first aid training, our educational programs are designed to instill a sense of confidence and preparedness in all who participate. Our mission extends beyond just emergency response or education. We are committed to fostering a spirit of community and camaraderie. Whether it's organizing coastal clean-ups or participating in local events, we believe that our work is enriched when we connect with those we serve. So, when you step foot on the West Coast, know that Coastguard West Coast is here for you - whether you need assistance, guidance, or simply a friendly face. We're more than just a marine rescue service; we're your partners in adventure, your guardians of safety, and your friends of the sea. Welcome to Coastguard West Coast!
