RNLI details.
The 75ft - 35,000kg Sunseeker Predator hard aground at moelfre’s former Lifeboat Station slipway known locally as Porth Neigwl
Beaumaris lifeboat arrived on scene off Llanddona and with 2 pumps aboard the water level dropped. Llandudno’s new Shannon Class lifeboat, on passage to Conwy, also assisted and provided a 3rd pump. They stood by while Beaumaris Lifeboat responded to another, separate incident.
Once in Beaumaris the vessel was placed alongside the pier for salvage experts to assess, but once forward motion stopped the vessel began to sink once again so all lines were released and the vessel was beached safely.
This was a fantastic multi agency rescue involving RNLI crews from Moelfre, Beaumaris and Llandudno as well as local Coastguard teams from Moelfre and Penmon, who also provided vital assistance ashore. All occupants of the vessel were rescued safe and well, and the vessel undoubtedly saved preventing any environmental risk or navigational risk to other vessels
