A fisherman has been rescued after his charter vessel was struck by a large wave in Raglan this morning.
Police said they received a report around 6.50am that a person had gone overboard on the vessel.
The crew had been fishing when the vessel was hit by a large wave, which collapsed the cabin.
One of the crew was standing at the back of the boat and was swept off by the wave.
He was wearing a lifejacket and had an emergency locator beacon, police said.
