There’s a two week wait on specialist repairs to the windscreen.
Marine Rescue Shoalhaven volunteer Bill Carter condemned the attack.
“It gets a bit disheartening,” Mr Carter said.
“It reduces our ability to respond.
“We can’t go to sea with it to rescue anyone, it gets rough, and if we take it out too fast if it’s going to shatter the window.”
Police investigations have resulted in no findings at this stage.
It was the third time this year that Marine Rescue Shoalhaven's vessels have been broken into or damaged.
In January, a boat was broken into, and fire extinguishers were stolen, and later in the year, someone untied a boat, and it drifted downstream into the mud.
