Whangaroa Coastguard is based in the Whangaroa Harbour and covers the area from the Cavalli Islands to Doubtless Bay. Our radio CH84 is linked to Coastguard Northern Region and is manned 24/7. CH84 should be used for all trip reports and emergencies. CH62 also covers the whole area and is for ship to ship communications and other local maritime uses. Outside the harbour the nowcasting service is available on CH20.
Whangaroa Coastguard Radio recently received its own dedicated rescue vessel when they were gifted Tutukaka Coastguard’s 8.5m Rayglass Protector which they have renamed Whangaroa Rescue.
