Tutukaka Coastguard Inc has an active crew membership of 19, five of whom are skippers.  The unit operates out of the Tutukaka Marina where their  dedicated Rescue Vessel Dive! Tutukaka Rescue has a permanent berth.  Tutukaka Harbour is a major deep-sea fishing and recreational diving base on the East coast 20 km from the nearest city, Whangarei.  The unit's operational area covers from Bream Head in the south to the Rimariki Islands in the north and includes the popular Poor Knights Marine Reserve.

The Tutukaka unit frequently does on-water training, often including other agencies,  to increase their Search and Rescue capabilities.  This extra training can't help but stand the unit in good stead.
