If you own a boat, you should be a member of Waihi Beach Volunteer Coastguard. Subs are just $40.00 per annum and include one free tow, but what's more important is you're supporting an organisation that saves lives.

With two state of the art, fully equiped, ridged inflatables - a Rayglass 8.5m with twin 200hp Yamahas and a Kingfisher 4.5m with a 175 hp Mercury both shallow and deep water rescues are covered. The club operates and has listenening watches on VHF channel 85 and emergency distress channel 16 VHF. Clubrooms are located next to Bowentown Holiday Park.
