About Guardian Marine Rescue

Welcome to Guardian Marine Rescue, a volunteer-based non-profit organization dedicated to marine search and rescue. Established in 2011, we are committed to saving lives and promoting safe boating activities in our community. Our team operates out of Colchester and Lakeshore, providing critical services across Lake Erie, the Detroit River, and Lake St. Clair.

With a fleet that includes the Colchester Guardian and the Lakeshore Alida, we are equipped to respond swiftly to emergencies on the water. Our volunteers undergo rigorous training to ensure they are prepared for a variety of situations. We collaborate closely with the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary and other local agencies to deliver effective and coordinated search and rescue operations.

At Guardian Marine Rescue, our mission is to prevent loss of life and ensure the safety of boaters in our region. We also engage in public education initiatives to raise awareness about boating safety and the importance of being prepared on the water. Through the support of our community and generous donors, we continue to enhance our capabilities and expand our reach, making our waters safer for everyone.
