This gripping series follows the men and women patrolling the 15,000 kilometers of New Zealand’s shoreline. 

From drug busts and drunks to sinking yachts with families aboard, we are given a never-before-seen perspective as police officers put their lives on the line in often highly treacherous conditions. The safety and emergency response organisations find, and rescue, yachts-men lost at sea, which injured passengers off yachts and cruise ships, while the Coastguard Volunteers pluck passengers off sinking vessels, steer vessels safely out of dangerous waters, and prevent a yacht crashing and stranding on rocks. 

With a special season based in Australia, the series offers a particular insight on the two nations who cannot keep out of water – both for fun and for crime.
