Hawkesbury River Rescue Inc.
Affiliated with the Volunteer Rescue Association of NSW
A small squad of highly proficient boating enthusiasts who give their time to provide
a 24/7 safety net to all who use the lower Hawkesbury, Broken Bay, Cowan Creek and
Berowra Waters and up to 16 nautical miles off shore.
A Marine Radio Base on Peat Island and “The Spirit of Brooklyn” a 7m Shark Cat fitted
with twin 175hp motors enables quick response to any emergency in our area of operations.
Dedicated not just too emergency responses but also to safe boating generally we have been
awarded a Commonwealth Grant from Emergency Management Australia to increase public
awareness of the importance of safe boating. To this end we have qualified instructors
in boat handling, marine radio, first aid and community education who run on demand public courses.
