Ramsey lifeboat went to the rescue of an inflatable dinghy yesterday evening.
The Ann and James Ritchie 2 launched shortly before 6.30pm after reports a three-metre vessel was in trouble.
The volunteer crew found the boat around a mile from harbour with three people aboard.
They towed the boat back to the harbour, and nobody was injured during the incident.
