Water police rescused a 35-year-old woman off Tomaree Headland at Shoal Bay about 3.45pm on Saturday after it was noticed the small boat she was on was suffering mechanical issues and drifting.
During a search of the vessel, which was unregistered and without mandatory emergency equipment, officers seized methylamphetamine (ice) and cannabis.
The Nelson Bay woman is due to appear at Raymond Terrace Local Court on January 10 next year.
