Peel Lifeboat assisted a motorboat experiencing problems on Sunday afternoon.
The eight-metre vessel was located just south of Peel Castle.
The crew towed the boat back to safety along Peel’s breakwater.
It was the station’s first emergency shout of 2024.
Mike Faragher, volunteer coxswain with Peel’s lifeboat, said after the rescue: ‘It was good to see that the sailor, who was alone, was wearing a life jacket and had a means for calling for help.
‘As we look forward to the arrival of warmer weather, this is a great time to remind everyone to be prepared before venturing out on the water or along the coast. To keep yourself and others safe, please check the weather conditions and tide times. Let others know where you are going and when you expect to return. Ensure your vessel is seaworthy, that you have the necessary safety equipment and that you know how to use it.’
