The two were struggling to right their sailing dinghy and were showing “signs of shock” during the incident on Sunday afternoon.

An RNLI Moelfre Lifeboat spokesperson said: “RNLI Moelfre volunteers were tasked at 4:10 pm on Sunday, 29th June 2025, by HM Coastguard to report that an upturned kayak with two persons in the water, 1.5 km Northwest of Ynys Seiriol (Puffin Island), was in difficulties. It was also reported that the kayak was deflating.

“Moelfre all-weather lifeboat ‘Kiwi’ made good speed, and once on scene, it became clear to the RNLI crew that they were dealing with an overturned dinghy with two people sitting on the capsized hull.
