Flint RNLI were called out on Thursday afternoon.
A DRIFTING boat saw rescue crews scramble to the scene of the Flintshire coast on Thursday.
Flint's volunteer lifeboat crew was tasked by UK Coastguard at 2:49 pm yesterday (April 1) after reports of a vessel adrift off Greenfield, near Holywell.
A spokesman said: "The lifeboat was taken by road to Greenfield for launch, where the volunteer crew were updated by Flint Coastguard team of its location and arrived on scene five minutes later.
"As the vessel was located mid-channel and a potential hazard to other river users it was decided to take it under tow and made secure at Greenfield Dock."
They confirm that the lifeboat was recovered at Connah's Quay and made ready for service by 5:30pm
