The call that Coastguard Wanaka Lakes volunteers dread the most is that a boat is in trouble with children aboard. While not everyone owns a boat or goes out boating, almost everyone knows someone close to them that does. When a tragedy happens out on the water, it affects the whole family. Keeping loved ones safe is every boaties’ responsibilty. Make sure the family, especially children, are wearing a life jacket that fits properly Ensure you have a waterproof means of communication to call for help (cell phone in a waterproof bag)

Let someone know your plans by making a trip report using the Coastguard Boaties Best Mate App – if you are overdue your nominated person will be told.
Occasionally things do go wrong – if it's life threatening a 111 call to the Police will have help mobilised within minutes. Even if its not life threatening, such as a breakdown, Coastguard is available to help but there may be a cost. Coastguard Membership - the Boatie’s Best Mate has been set up as a one off yearly payment so you get free support from Coastguard. This is a great Christmas present for that special person who loves boating. When you join, nominate Wanaka Lakes as your Unit. For more information and to register on line go to https://www.coastguard.nz/membership/join-online/ or ring 0800 BOATIE (262 843). Want to know more about Coastguard Wanaka Lakes and the volunteers who make it happen? Join us on Saturday 28th December (9.00am - 12.00pm) at the Wanaka Marina for the Coastguard Ramp Day to see what we do and have a trip on the rescue boat.
