Building our lifeboats

We couldn't save lives without our dependable lifeboat fleet.

Our lifeboats have to launch in the stormiest of seas, the strongest of gales and the harshest of winters. Whatever conditions our brave volunteers face out on a shout, our lifeboats must be to be able to cope with them too.

So to make sure we can always rely on them, our lifeboats are built, repaired and maintained to the highest standards.
