Guernsey prides itself on having some some of the most experienced Offshore officials in the World, and an excellent safety organisation.

They are greatly supported by

The lifeboat station at St Peter Port is one of only four in the Channel Islands. Operating for over 200 years, the crews of the all weather lifeboat have been honoured with several awards for gallantry.

The Spirit of Guernsey was brought on station in 1997. It carries a powered Y boat that can be launched and recovered by a lightweight crane to enable rescues close to shore. Its propellers are protected so it can take ground without damage.

CHANNEL ISLAND AIR SEARCH

CIAS is a voluntary organisation formed in 1980 for the primary purpose of assisting in the saving of lives at sea. It is a rapid response service, with comprehensive Search and limited Rescue capability.
