Search and Rescue

They are there to help you when you need it most!

Tried ring in relation to a goanna but no one picked up very disappointing

I had the utmost respect for these guys, they put their lives on the line to find & retrieve our boat recently in terrible weather. This respect has waned due to the absolute unnecessary abuse I received in a phone call from a gentlemen who wouldn’t allow me the time of day to talk or explain about a Facebook post I had posted earlier in the day about our missing vessel, which led to contact from someone in the public & information locating the whereabouts of our missing boat.I had hoped to make a personal visit to thank these wonderful people, but after that phone call, I don’t want to be verbally attacked in the same manner. This gentleman berated me for 5-10mins straight without letting me speak to the point I had to hang up, & he continued to ring back to what I would assume as to continue the verbal abuse. This left a bad taste in my mouth to a situation I was eternally grateful for.

Great little shop, will be back

With out this essential service and the wonderful people volunteering we all would be left out in the dark and alone when the emergency hits.

Thanks for a great public service

Rescued by VMR crew - their expertise, knowledge and ability was brilliant- thank you

As my wife has just posted, I will reiterate what a great job vmr Raby Bay has done in getting our new boat to our pontoon. After 10 hours of motoring with newly serviced engines, both overheated within 2 hours of each other within 5 nm of the entrance to Raby Bay. The response was excellent, the tow was really well done considering a 4 tonne Cat was towing 13 tonnes of boat. Once at the entrance they had to come along side so they could steer us through the canals. The wind got up and in choppy conditions they secured their boat to ours. The weight differential was extreme in windy conditions and a lot could have gone wrong going through the canals. A big high 5 to Carson and his team for getting our new boat back safely. Knowing they are all volunteers, they did an amazing job and would highly recommend their services and membership to other boaties in the area.

Great team of volunteers

volunteerism is the hart of the community. Good looking facility.
