BOTH of Bembridge RNLI's lifeboats and two coastguard teams were called out this afternoon (Thursday) to search for missing kayakers.

The Bembridge RNLI all-weather lifeboat and the inshore lifeboat were called out alongside Bembridge and Ventnor Coastguard Rescue Teams.

They were called out to reports of overdue kayakers at around 12 noon and carried out a search.

Bembridge Coastguard Rescue Team located the kayakers on shore safe and well and the search was stood down.
