Kayakers have been rescued after they got into trouble in difficult sea conditions off Jersey.

The Jersey Lifeboat Association was called to Noirmont Point after it was reported five kayakers were in trouble.

After the initial call, an inshore lifeboat was launched and found two people on rocks at Noirmont Tower and three kayakers afloat.

Rescuers said the two people on rocks were safe and not injured. They took the three kayakers back towards their launch point at Belcroute.

The Jersey Lifeboat Association said: "This was a fast-paced, multi-agency incident carried out in testing conditions, but thanks to quick responses and effective teamwork, it resulted in a positive outcome for all involved.

"We would like to commend the kayaking group for being well-prepared and properly equipped with essential safety gear, including lifejackets and helmets, which played a key role in ensuring everyone's safety."
