Our boats

We have two Coastguard Rescue Vessels (CRVs) ready to respond at any time…

Pharazyn Rescue

Pharazyn Rescue is our CRV based at Paraparaumu.
Built by Matamata Engineering in 1991, with a 350hp Yanmar turbodiesel engine mated to a Hamilton Jet unit.
She’s the oldest boat in the Coastguard fleet, and she’s still going strong.
But with 27 years of service to her name, Pharazyn is heading towards a well-earned retirement.

Pharazyn’s replacement?
Due in 2018 – watch this space! Images of the New Boat Build!

 

K2 Rescue

K2 Rescue is our CRV based at Waikanae.
Built by AMF in 2007, she has a 370hp engine mated to a Hamilton Jet unit.
K2 Rescue is a spring chicken compared with Pharazyn.
You’ll be seeing K2 Rescue on the Kapiti Coast for many years to come.
