Station 37, Jeffreys Bay is the newest NSRI station in South Africa. Our Station was originally envisaged to act as a auxiliary base for Station 21, St Francis Bay, but since 2010 we have been operating as a fully-fledged Sea Rescue Base. Our Base started with only a single qualified Coxswain and six Crew Members and has since grown to four qualified Coxswains and over 20 Crew Members, including Controllers, Shore Crew and Trainee Crew. During the NSRI’s 45th Annual General Meeting in August 2012, our base was awarded the highly coveted Operation Director’s Award for the “Most Improved NSRI Base in South Africa”!

Our newly planned Boat House will serve to properly accommodate and protect our existing fleet of 2 Rescue Crafts, our 4x4 Rescue Vehicle and Rescue Quad. The Boat House will also allow for future expansion in our capabilities.Your sponsorship of a golf hole at our golf day, and/or a donation would go a long way to help us raise funds towards this requirement.
