WELCOME TO THE VMR RABY BAY WEB SITE
When you're having a bad day out there and you have that sinking feeling, you can be sure that we will be there to help you! Why not join the VMR as an Associate Member and have that peace of mind when you are on the water.

VMR Raby Bay is conveniently located along Cleveland Point, adjacent to the William Street Boat Ramp.

The unit was first established in 1985 to assist boa ties in distress and operated from a caravan together with a six meter vessel. The unit now maintains 4 vessels from it's large headquarters.

All of the unit's crew (6 shifts) work as unpaid volunteers on 12 hour shifts. The unit relies heavily on fundraising and local support through it's membership program to maintain the boats and infrastructure. Without this support and fundraising, it would not be possible to continue to provide this level of service to the community.

We currently average one response per day (365 days) although we officially only operate on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Crews are regularly called out during the week and often in the middle of the night to help save lives.

To keep this community service running efficiently, we need your continued support and ask you to give generously to our fundraiser's (regularly seen at Alexandra Hills, Capalaba and Cleveland shopping malls). We also encourage you to become an associate member. This provides you with a great service, peace of mind and will save you money if you need assistance whilst using your boat.
