The volunteers crew from Blackpool lifeboat station was called out at 10.30am on Saturday when a 30ft boat with three people on board found itself stranded around two miles off the shore.

An RNLI spokesman said: "Our Atlantic 85 lifeboat took the vessel under tow and headed towards Fleetwood before handing the tow over to Fleetwood RNLI."
