The Shannon based crew were tasked by the Valentia coast guard shortly before 4:00pm.
The search and rescue helicopter which was on a mission in Galway was diverted south to Kerry, where it refuelled and headed to the trawler located off Castletownbere coast.
The casualty was handed over to the National Ambulance Service (NAS) for transport to hospital.
