Edithburgh Flotilla: VMR 516
Call sign: “Sea Rescue Edithburgh”
After a number of years as a community-based sea rescue group, the Edithburgh Flotilla was formally recognised in 2001 as a member of the SA Sea Rescue Squadron. Edithburgh Flotilla’s area of operations extends from Stansbury on the central east coast of Yorke Peninsula to Marion Bay on the southeastern tip of Yorke Peninsula.
Our members are all highly trained and experienced volunteers and are on call 24/7 to help save lives at sea. Every weekend and public holiday we provide radio monitoring services from our base located at the busy Edithburgh boat ramp as well as a 24/7 service from a volunteer’s home radio base.
Being part of our local community is important to us and we like to get involved by not only providing a search and rescue service, but assisting in local events as well as conducting training courses in radio and seamanship for our community members.We are very grateful for the support provided to us by our community.

Weekends and public holidays: 0800 hours until 1700 hours during central standard time.
Daylight savings time: 0800 hrs until 1800 hours
