Coastguard Houhora Inc became affiliated with Coastguard New Zealand in October 2012. Initially using volunteers’ vessels of opportunity, we began providing a consistent rescue service to our community.

We provide marine search and rescue services from Cape Reinga to Knuckle Point – (entrance to Doubtless Bay.) This level of service requires a high level of training and commitment from our volunteers who are all locals. We are always on the lookout for new volunteers.
