Lifeboats-USA
Typical SAR operations area coverage shown in Orange
Lifeboats-USA
provides on-the-water Assistance
to the recreational boating public.
The US Coast Guard and Auxiliary
have well established SAR assets to
cover their Area of Responsibility.
However, in many Coast Guard
Sectors, that Area of Responsibility is very large to cover with short response time.
In a bad situation, every minute or even seconds can make a difference between Search and Rescue or Recovery (Life and Death) and that is where Lifeboats-USA can and will make a difference.
Lifeboats-USA will work very closely with the US Coast Guard and the Auxiliary, as well as with any emergency response Team.
Lifeboats-USA is not a commercial salvage enterprise and will not provide normal towing service. However, Lifeboats-USA will never leave anyone in danger, if it can be helped.
The illustration above is a typical example as to how Lifeboats-USA can supplement SAR operations area coverage.
