Mallaig Lifeboat was launched this morning to assist a fishing boat that was taking on water.
A Stornoway Coastguard spokeswoman said they received a call from the two-man crew just before 11am.
The 20ft boat was about three miles west of Mallaig in Lochaber when it got into difficulty.
She said: “Mallaig Lifeboat went out and took the two people on board and towed the vessel back into Mallaig harbour.”
