Tenby’s RNLI crew jumped into action late on Sunday night, to assist a vessel with engine issues.

The all-weather lifeboat was requested to launch shortly after 10 pm on Sunday (August 6), following reports of a boat with engine failure in between Waterwynch and Monkstone, three quarters of a mile north-east of the station.

The volunteer crew were soon on the water and after a brief search, located the casualty vessel.

The occupants requested a tow back to Saundersfoot.

With the vessel now safely back in Saundersfoot harbour, the lifeboat returned to station, arriving at 11.20 pm.
