Fripp Island Sea Rescue first responders work with an array of different agencies and organizations to augment our ability to assist boaters in distress, including:
We are always looking for Fripp residents to join us in our mission. Training classes start in the fall and continue through the winter, so that our newest members are ready to serve on patrols and missions when the busy season starts early spring.
Requirements: Fripp full-time or nearly full-time resident, boating and first responder experience preferred but not required, a willingness to learn our waters and methodologies, and above all, a desire to help other people in need, sometimes at an inconvenient time of day or night, and occasionally in a life-saving situation.
To inquire: call the Base Duty Officer at (843) 575-2443 any day, any time, or send an email to frippislandsearescue@gmail.com
