Guardian Search and Rescue

Day to day, week after week, month after month, year after year — Guardian Search and Rescue stands the watch.
Rain or shine, over land or open sea, in the darkest hour or the dead of night — we are prepared to launch.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit search and rescue helicopter organization staffed with pilots, rescue swimmers, medics, and volunteers — who are trained, equipped, and committed to saving lives. Whether it’s a capsized boat miles offshore or a missing hiker in a remote forest, we respond when others can’t.
Local, State, and Federal agencies do extraordinary work — but even they have limitations. When their resources are stretched thin or tied up elsewhere, Guardian SAR stands ready to answer the call. We are integrated, recognized, and ready to support them — not replace them — whenever help is needed.
But none of this happens without people like you.
Your donation keeps our blades turning, our fuel tanks full, and our crews trained. Every dollar means we can be there faster, stronger, and more prepared — when someone’s life hangs in the balance.
Because when the call comes, we don’t hesitate.
We answer — for them.
Help us be the lifeline. Donate today.

When Every Second Counts
We live in a State that welcomes millions of adventurers, millions of seniors, millions of kids, and millions of “just a quick trip”.
And with the dynamic weather bringing stronger storms, faster floods, and hotter summers, the number of critical rescues is only rising.
Guardian SAR isn’t here to replace—it’s here to reinforce
We are a committed partner in Florida’s growing network of search and rescue resources, ready to step in when every second matters.
By integrating seamlessly with Local, State and Federal response efforts, we provide an added layer of readiness—quietly standing by, so that when the unthinkable happens… you are never alone.
