RNLI lifeguards and lifeboats in the Channel Islands helped more than 100 people last year, saving at least one life, according to the charity.
The RNLI has released its 2025 figures, showing continued demand for its life-saving services.
There are four lifeboat stations across the Channel Islands.
The St Peter Port station was the busiest last year, launching 42 times, aiding 42 people and saving one life.
In Jersey, the St Helier station launched 28 times, assisting 38 people over the course of the year, while St Catherine’s station launched 18 times, aiding 11 people.
Meanwhile, the Alderney station launched 14 times, helping 38 people.
Gibby Gordon has volunteered with the St Helier RNLI for 14 years.
"We've attended to everything from people cut off by the tide, to swimmers in distress, to searching for missing persons, and a couple of years ago, we had a light aircraft ditching into the sea.
"People are always grateful to see us, even if it's just a technical issue on a vessel, or it could be a more serious one with a person in the water.
"In total, last year we launched 102 times, aiding 139 people and saving one life - saving that one life makes it all worthwhile."
The donation-funded service will start its “Mayday Mile” fundraiser next month, encouraging people to get sponsored to walk a mile each day.
