A man overboard and a driverless boat sparked a lifeboat call out at Little Haven yesterday evening.

An emergency call was made shortly after 6pm reporting a person falling overboard from a moving vessel near the beach at Little Haven.

The boat was then unmanned, and both were in danger.

Little and Broad Haven Lifeboat was on the scene minutes after the call was made. The crew recovered the man and his boat and brought them both safely back to shore.
