Saving Lives on the Water

Our Mission Statement is Saving Lives on the Water, and it is something we take very seriously. The core services of Tauranga Coastguard are our search and rescue capability and radio operations. It takes a team of duty officers, wet crew, radio operators and fundraisers to ensure we meet our goal.

Become a Tauranga Coastguard volunteer

Our dedicated volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, to assist someone at risk on the water. Even if you only have a few hours per month to give, or don’t fancy the water, there’s a role for you.

You can volunteer with us as a crew member or radio operator.
