Huge search by Coastguards and RNLI after kayak is found in sea at Brean A Coastguard helicopter and two Burnham-On-Sea RNLI lifeboats carried out a search of the sea off Brean last night (Friday) after an inflatable kayak was spotted without its occupants. The helicopter and lifeboats undertook search patterns of the Bristol Channel over several hours for any sign of the occupants of the kayak, but no-one was found. The yellow and grey inflatable kayak had been found floating in the water without any sign of its owners and Police issued an appeal to find them. A Burnham Coastguard spokesman said: “We were called to reports of an inflatable kayak that had been seen entering the water with two people but then later spotted in the distance with no persons onboard.”
