Tutukaka Coastguard Inc has an active crew membership of 12, four 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 the Hen & Chickens Islands in the South to Whangaruru Coastguard's southern boundary around Whananaki 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.
