In the first incident, at around 11.15am, crews responded to a 40ft sailing yacht which had suffered a steering failure north of Bouley Bay.
Faced with strong currents, caused by this week’s large 37ft spring tides, it was quickly decided to tow the vessel into the bay to allow its skipper to arrange repairs.
Shortly before 8pm, the lifeboat was called out again after concerns were raised about the safety of four fishermen on rocks near La Saie Harbour.
However, despite being in a precarious position, where they could have been cut off by the tide, the individuals assured the lifeboat crew that they were not in danger.
While on the scene, the boat was then requested by the Coastguard to go to Grève de Lecq to check on a coasteering group who appeared to be in distress.
However, after conducting a search of the area, it was found that they had managed to return to shore.
Helier de Veulle, RNLI Jersey press officer and crewman, said: ‘It was a really good example of stewardship, just to make sure that these people were not in trouble.
‘We would always rather get called out, particularly during these huge spring tides which have been producing really strong currents on the north coast. In the fading light, there was quite a lot that could have gone wrong.’
The lifeboat, the Eric W Wilson, was back on station and readied for the next service by 9.30pm.
