Ramsey lifeboat was launched earlier this afternoon.
The call out came around 1pm after a motor boat got into difficulties whilst around a mile offshore in Ramsey Bay.
The vessel had suffered engine failure and had been unable to use its auxilliary engine.
She was towed back to safety in Ramsey harbour.
