WHAT WE DO

Derrynane Inshore Rescue Service is a voluntary group set up to provide an emergency lifeboat service to the Kenmare Bay community. We are a 24 hour station on call from Valentia Coastguard on a beeper system. 

The area we cover is from Ballinskelligs Bay, up down the Kenmare River,
also covering the West Cork side as well as far as Dursey island. 

No one call out is the same. Our crews work in a high pressure stressful environment.

WHEN DO WE OPERATE?

We operate all year, we assist with Search and Rescue but unfortunately sometimes it is a recovery  and also cover any water based occasions such as Triathlons, Regatta’s and fishing competitions.
