Launch a Memory Exmouth

Exmouth is a busy working lifeboat station, crewed by volunteers, and we kindly ask that you don’t try to contact us directly by phone with Launch a Memory queries. Our Launch a Memory boat can usually be seen during working hours, although please remember that it may be out of the lifeboat station for a variety of reasons. We have tour guides on duty every weekend throughout the year. Special Launch a Memory visits can be pre-booked. These are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays between midday and 1pm. More information.
