Auckland Coastguard Incorporated (ACI) has a heritage that dates back to 1935. They are based at the Auckland Marine Rescue Centre (AMRC) in Mechanics Bay sharing the facilities with Coastguard Northern Region, Surf Lifesaving Northern Region, Maritime Police, and the Auckland Harbour Master.

ACI has three dedicated rescue vessels in their fleet: LION Foundation Rescue, ASB Rescue and Trillian Rescue Alpha which are kept at the Marina at the Auckland Marine Rescue Centre.

In addition to the dedicated rescue vessels, Auckland Coastguard also has a number of Private Rescue Vessels (PRV's) that are used for search & rescue purposes. For many years the PRV’s have been the cornerstone of the Coastguard service. Private individuals offer their own family boats and participate in training and rostered duties.
