The rescue was in the Menai Strait, between Anglesey and the north Wales mainland Nine students have been rescued from the water after their rowing boat split in two in a motor cruiser’s wake.
The RNLI said the boat snapped in the Menai Strait between Anglesey and the north Wales mainland.
The nine, from Bangor University, were recovered by a safety boat at about 1230 BST, and none was injured.
When the volunteer crew from Beaumaris Lifeboat Station arrived, they retrieved half the broken boat, which was floating under Britannia Bridge.
Holyhead Coastguard said none of the nine was injured.
It is thought they were getting into the half-aground rowing boat when it split.
The motor cruiser was described as about 50ft (15m) long.
As the lifeboat headed back to the boathouse, it was diverted to help another boat with one person on board which had broken down.
That boat, which was near Puffin Island, was towed to Menai Bridge.
