Station visits
Falmouth Lifeboat Station is one of a number of stations designated as an 'Explore Station'. This means that the station is open to visitors at intervals during the year, subject to operational requirements which may require tours to be altered at the last minute.
The station is located in Tinners Walk, near to the docks entrance, 5-10 minutes walk from the Maritime Museum.
A team of volunteers provide free guided tours of the station's B class Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat and Severn class all-weather lifeboat. Groups and individuals 1 - 32 can request pre-booked visits by emailing [email protected] ideally up to 7 days out so volunteer guides can be contacted.
If you have mobility issues we will do our best to show you as much as you think you can manage, as there are steps and sloping gangways to parts of the station.
We look forward to seeing you.
