The Humber Lifeboat station stands on the extreme tip of Spurn Point, the most southerly fragment of Yorkshire, where the fast flowing Humber unites with the turbulent North Sea. Established in 1810, Humber has a full time crew who have carried out some outstanding rescues during its 200-year history. The crews have been awarded 33 medals for gallantry.

There is no honorary secretary at this station as the Superintendent Coxswain is in charge. The crew are full-time employees and live in the Institutions houses at Spurn Point.
