Portree RNLI is sending our heartfelt condolences to our fellow search and rescue colleagues at Marine Rescue NSW, following the tragic incident and loss of two search and rescue volunteers in Ballina, Australia.

It’s a sobering reminder of the immense danger that search and rescue volunteers all over the world face when responding to calls for help.

We honour the courage, commitment and selflessness of those involved, and of everyone who dedicates their lives to saving lives at sea.

Our thoughts are with them all.

Thank you 🧡💙 during the arrival of our brand new lifeboat, Peter and Mary, on Saturday 18 April, our volunteers were delighted to receive this amazing picture by 9 year old Abi MacLeod.

Thank you, Abi - we absolutely love the picture and really appreciate your kind gesture!

LAUNCH 📟 the volunteer crew of Portree RNLI were paged at 1.25pm on Sunday 3 May 2026, following reports of a broken down vessel in the Waternish area.

Portree Trent class lifeboat Stanley Watson Barker - which remains on active service until training is completed with the new Shannon class lifeboat Peter and Mary - launched and started to make best speed towards the area.

However, the lifeboat was stood down by HM Coastguard whilst en route along the Trotternish coastline.

Stanley Watson Barker returned to Portree for refuelling and was made ready for service once again.

Remember that our volunteer crew are on call 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, and are ready to respond to calls for help.

Support Team A.C.E Target Sports, Isle of Skye as they take on the Mayday Mile challenge! 👏🧡

01/05/2026

People of all ages from the Isle of Skye are supporting their local RNLI station with the annual Mayday Mile fundraising campaign, which officially launches today (1 May 2026).

2 year old Georgie, who lives in Portree, will be taking on the mile a day challenge throughout the month of May to raise money for the lifesaving charity.

Georgie will be donning her yellow wellies and overalls to complete the daily mile by walking or by using her balance bike. She will also be joined by older brother Angus, who is 14, during the challenge.

Dad, Brian, is a volunteer at Portree RNLI and the family are already heavily involved in fundraising activities at the station.

The Portree lifeboat is affectionately known as ‘Daddy’s Boat’ in their household!

Speaking about the challenge, Mum, Annalise, said:

‘Both Georgie and Angus are already involved in fundraising for the RNLI, which is such a big part of our family life. It seems apt that they join in with the national Mayday Mile fundraising campaign to help support the work of the charity. We all know that the RNLI relies on donations to operate, which makes fundraising for it even more important.’

Also taking on the Mayday Mile fundraising challenge is Melanie and William, who are both instructors at A.C.E Target Sports, Isle of Skye, just outside of Portree.

They will be undertaking their mile a day by any means possible and will be posting regularly on social media with updates on their progress.

Speaking about the challenge, Melanie said:

‘The RNLI are the beating heart of our community on Skye and Raasay. They need all the support they can get and raising money is the perfect way of saying thank you for the crew’s unwavering efforts in all weathers.’
