The St Catherine lifeboat was called out on Friday evening when an Islander spotted the broken-down boat off Sorel Point on Jersey’s north coast.
The crew arrived on scene about ten minutes later and towed the four metre long motorboat back to Bonne Nuit harbour.
In a statement, an RNLI spokesman said: ‘While the crew of the boat were not in any immediate danger, this rescue does highlight the need for local boat owners to think about sea safety before venturing out.’
