We are run by a passionate group of highly trained volunteers who willingly dedicate their personal time to help others in need on the water. We focus on the waters around Fremantle, Rottnest Island, and both the Swan and Canning Rivers and are regularly called upon to assist in search and rescue operations further afield.

Our team of over 100 volunteers provide around the clock vessel assistance, radio coverage, education and safety awareness to Perth’s water-bound public. Every minute of every day we have operators manning the radios and boat crews standing by or on patrol, waiting for the call.

Marine Rescue Fremantle utilises a fleet of four purpose-built rescue vessels and two jetskis, all equipped with the latest search and rescue equipment and technologies. These rescue assets are strategically located throughout our coverage area to minimise the time it takes us to respond to any given incident.

Our Rescue Operations centre, located in the iconic tower on Cantonment Hill in Fremantle, is home to the More & Meehan Radio Room; one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the country. The centre also incorporates meeting and administration facilities, all critical to the efficient operation of the organisation. Our Crew Headquarters on Mews Road in Fremantle provides a comfortable training and rest area for our volunteers, and provides easy access to our Fremantle based vessels.
