Kessock lifeboat rescued four people, including two children, after a speedboat capsized near Inverness.
The coastguard received a call at 3.20pm due to passengers aboard a small speedboat in distress near the city.
The control room called the Kessock RNLI lifeboat, which is based on the north side of the river underneath the Kessock bridge, to help.
A coastguard spokeswoman said: “The boat had capsized and was 80% sunk before the team arrived.
“They managed to turn the boat around and towed them all back to Inverness Marina by 3.50pm.”
The casualties were all taken to hospital by ambulance after returning to shore, but were all understood to be safe and well.
