At 1500 on Saturday 4th August 2018, St Peter Port Lifeboat was launched to attend to Jersey registered M/V “Chianti”, a 22ft motor boat which had suffered engine failure approximately 3 nautical miles south of Herm. The vessel had been on passage from Guernsey to Sark with 4 persons on board.

St Peter Port Lifeboat arrived on scene at approximately 1520 and attached a tow line to the stricken vessel. None of the 4 crew members were injured and the vessel was towed safely back to St Peter Port harbour arriving alongside shortly before 1545.
