The PCSRT was set up after the Maraetai Beach Boating Club withdrew from sea rescue services in 2001.
The Trust continued operating the rescue service establishing Coastguard Maraetai in 2004 and providing a training venue for Coastguard crews and also the boatshed which houses the rescue vessel DRV Maraetai Rescue 1.
The Trust supports Coastguard Maraetai financially and is moving to expand the boating safety education on the Pohutukawa Coast.
In conjunction with Coastguard Boating Education, PCSRT conduct Marine VHF Radio One Day courses along with Day Skippers courses. Planning is underway to conduct a larger variety of courses again in conjunction with Coastguard Boating Education. It is anticipated that these courses would be held more frequently depending on demand.
