Yes, marine-rescue / lifeboat-station does imply the use of a boat, as they
are primarily involved in "the saving of life at sea" (borrowing from at
least one motto). Safety / rescue of swimmers at a beach or similar
location, is usually the responsibilty of lifeguards, although both groups
can, & do, cross-over on occasion.

Maybe emergency=water_rescue ?

Again, that seems closer to a lifeguard
