Help US to Help You - Thames need a new Rescue Boat
We need your help your help to keep us on the water
Waikato
After 16 years of service to our area, Thames Rescue has come to the end of it working life and needs to be replaced. As you can imagine this vessel has put to sea in all weathers at anytime during the day or night to assist any boatie who has come unstuck in the Firth of Thames.

About us
Thames Coastguard operates on the Firth of Thames from Thames to the northern end of the Coromandel Peninsula and across to Waiheke Is.
Since 1993 our group of volunteers have been available to assist any boatie in need help on this large body of water at anytime and in all weathers. Our 6.8 mtr Naiad has served us well over the past 16years and after a number of refits is due for replacement - we are now fund raising to replace her with a 7.3mtr Naiad which will carry on providing us with the tools to meet the ever growing boating population of the Firth and Inner Hauraki Gulf.
The total project needs to raise $400K so this is a big ask to a small community (Thames) to come up with so we are appealing to all you "Out of Town" fisherman to get behind this - "Help us to Help YOU"
Thank You
