The crew were tasked by Malin Head Coast Guard to assist the man who was experiencing chest pains on his boat.
The All-Weather Lifeboat was launched, and the volunteer crew quickly made their way to the casualty not far from Rathmullan Pier.
The crew boarded the vessel, administered casualty care and the decision was made to escort the fishing vessel to Fahan Marina where an ambulance was waiting for him.
