Thanks for your support!  3 December 2025

Thanks for all your support for the Fiordland Marine Search & Rescue. This year with amazing community support including this give-a-little page we have been able to fund the following critical things for our team -

- 2 x new harnesses and cinch straps

- A replacement airbridge for multiple person rescues

- Support the training and gear for a new rescue swimmer to join the team

- Multiple other bits and pieces required to run a professional standard search and rescue operation on a volunteer budget

Again, thankyou for all your support, it has undoubtably improved our Marine SAR capability for the large area we cover.

Thanks for everything you do!! Loved having you at the Fiordland Classic Boat Festival last weekend. Your display was inspiring, and highlighted the professionalism of your team. We hope to never need your services, but should the situation arise, then we can’t thank you enough in advance.
