Volunteer Marine Rescue Southport (VMR Southport) is a volunteer-run marine rescue organisation originally formed in 1969 as Southport–Surfers Paradise Air Sea Rescue.

Its base sits on the Southport Spit overlooking the Gold Coast Broadwater, with the Gold Coast Seaway close by, allowing rapid response to emergencies across the marine environment.

VMR Southport handles a wide range of activations, including towing broken-down vessels, ungrounding boats from rocks and sandbars, pumping out sinking vessels, and supporting Queensland Water Police in search-and-rescue operations.

The organisation also co-mans the Gold Coast Seaway Tower alongside the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Southport, providing 24/7 marine assistance, weather information, and navigation guidance.

The 24-hour emergency line is (07) 5591 1300, with VHF marine radio contact available on channels 16, 67, and 73.
