Rotorua's Jason McMillan and his mates heard the sound of a boat crashing in darkness of the night, then the horrible noise of a revving engine that was clearly in trouble.
Two of them acted quickly, broke into a boat shed, stole a kayak and paddled into the darkness to help.
The drama unfolded on Friday night when McMillan was staying at a Marlborough Sounds resort for a wedding he was to be a groomsman at the next day.
He and a few of the bridal party and other guests were "a few beers in" when they heard the commotion on the water outside their rooms where they were drinking about 10.30pm.
