Burnham Area Rescue Boat (BARB), also known as BARB Search & Rescue, is a voluntary independent search and rescue service, formed in 1992 in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset that operates two rescue hovercraft and two inshore rescue boats in the Bridgwater Bay area. It is a registered charity.
It operates BBV hovercraft and small inshore rescue boats. The construction of its boathouse on the seafront in 1994 was the subject of a television programme and took just three days.
