The Humber Lifeboat Station is now located in Grimsby, having relocated from its historic base at Spurn Point. Established in 1810, the station has provided lifesaving cover at the entrance to the Humber Estuary and along the surrounding coastline for more than two centuries. Today, the station operates a Severn-class all-weather lifeboat, enabling crews to respond to emergencies in some of the busiest and most challenging waters around the UK.

Throughout its history, Humber crews have carried out many outstanding rescues and have been recognised with 16 awards for gallantry since the station was established.

The station is currently undergoing an exciting period of change. Having previously been operated by a crew of full-time RNLI employees, Humber is transitioning to a volunteer crew model. Alongside this change, a fundraising group is being introduced to support the station's lifesaving work and strengthen links with the local community.
