On 3.02pm Monday 11 July 2022, H.M. Coastguard requested the launch of Exmouth RNLI all weather lifeboat 13-03 R & J Welburn to a report of a broken down 21 foot powerboat about a mile off the coast of Budleigh Salterton.

The volunteer crew launched at 3.12pm, located the boat at 3.24pm but were unable to restart the engine. They assessed the situation and established a tow back in to Exmouth Marina where the boat was safely moored. The occupant was uninjured and did not require medical attention.
