Our area of responsibility stretches from Cape Colville in the North to Boat Harbour in the South and can assist Tairua/Pauanui when required. We deliver a wealth of services to the boating public.
Our reason for being is simple “To Save Lives At Sea”, we provide Search and Rescue services 24/7, 365 days and continue to develop initiatives that further enhance safety on the water, making the recreational boating experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Our goal is to save life and property at sea as well as foster maritime safety and provide information and educational services designed to maximise your safe enjoyment of the water.
We also provide VHF frequencies to log trip reports and we take preventative action by advising boaties of tidal information, any weather warnings, providing up-to-date condition reports for the Coromandel Peninsula and notification of any navigational hazards in the Harbour.
As a volunteer community service, we rely on public support for our continued operation and welcome donations of time and expertise, as well as financial support.

Remember, the Whitianga Coastguard members are all volunteers, support them at every opportunity – you never know when you may need them.
