Whitehaven Coastguard Rescue Team said: “Our first informant lost sight of the boat in the mist and became concerned, so called 999 for the Coastguard.
“With our team on the way to Harrington our operations room made a request for the launch of both boats from Workington Lifeboat to assist in the search.
“With Coastguard rescue officers at vantage points in the vicinity of Harrington and our officer In charge with colleagues from Cumbria police, the lifeboats were soon on scene.
“The first informant identified the location and a faint outline of the boat could be seen through binoculars.
“The lifeboat was soon alongside and confirmed the two people were safe and well.
“As always, we would like to thank the first informant for raising their concerns, and thankfully on this occasion it was a safe outcome.”
