Kilrush RNLI were dispatched around 5am to an area south of Moneypoint where the 43 foot motor vessel had ground to a a halt, amist fears it would drift into rocks.
Commercial divers were tasked to cut the rope while lifeoat crews remained on stand-by to assist in the operation and power was restored to the vessel just after 7am.
Charlie Glynn from Kilrush RNLI says the operation took place during difficult weather conditions.
