Douglas Lifeboat was launched and Douglas Coastguard immediate response team was scrambled on Friday night after an engine fire in a small fishing vessel, one and a half miles east of Douglas.
The distress call was received at around 9.40pm.
The vessel had a crew of four on board and were able to extinguish the fire in the outboard engine themselves.
A Coastguard patrol vehicle kept observation, whilst the lifeboat towed the vessel into Douglas at 10.30pm.
All of the crew were safe and well.
