We are a community not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers.
Safety of Life at Sea is our primary mission and you will regulary see our two rescue vessels on the water either doing just that or training to ensure we deliver when needed.
When out on the water, peace of mind is priceless. Our assitance program will help get you home when things go wrong.
Our relationships with other Marine Rescue and Coast Guard units means you are covered across Queensland.
As you may be aware, VMR will be transitioning to Marine Rescue Queensland (MRQ) with the current transition date of 31 December 2024, with future membership structures yet to be finalized. Therefore we will be making the following changes to our membership fee structure for existing and new members:
The current Marine Assist programs will only cease on the transition date to MRQ, and until that date non-members will still be subject to cost recovery fees of $200 per hour, so we have implemented the above fee structure in the interest of our valued members.

Thanks for your support!
The Commodore of the Rescue Unit said that the market had now become a well known event and continued to increase in popularity each time. He said that the unit now has a reputation for efficiency in the setting up of the stalls. He added that entry for buyers was by means of a donation with the proceeds going towards operating and maintaining the rescue vessels, looking after the building, it’s vehicles and safety equipment. Site holders pay a token $10 per site with there being no restrictions on the size required and no need to book ahead.
Our theme, he said, continues to be anything “from a fish hook to a power cruiser!” and it is rare that a site holder does not dispose of most or all of the items for sale.
Come along and support our well attended, big, successful fundraiser for your local community Marine Rescue Volunteers. You might just find that bargain you have been looking for!
