About Us

The Maritime Volunteer Service

The Maritime Volunteer Service was borne out of the disbanded Royal Navy Auxilary Service (RNXS) in 1994. Although our aims are constantly adapted to the ever evolving marine environment, our mission is the same:

To stimulate the interest of volunteers from all walks of life in maritime affairs.
To provide high quality training in maritime skills to recognised standards.
To be an interesting and useful spare time activity that is fun, sometimes exciting but with a strong emphasis on safety at all times.
To maintain a corps of trained volunteers capable of supporting maritime authorities ashore and afloat at maritime events or emergencies.
