We Rescue

RCMSAR Station 12 is a key part of the marine rescue system on the
West Coast. We serve the lower Sunshine Coast communities, providing
round-the-clock rescue on the water

We Educate

Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) Station 12 crews are out on the water spreading the safe boating message. Through the Vessel Safety Survey program we are able to reach out to the marine community. At the invitation of vessel operators, our crews will conduct an informal safety survey. We provide this service for free.

We Provide

Assistance to commercial mariners, recreational boaters and the general public through our search and rescue service as well as our boating safety program and
vessel safety surveys

the responsibility of responding to missions and leading the SAR crew and
being in charge of the boat.
