RNLI Lifeboat Station

Saving lives at sea

The RNLI is the charity that provides a 24-hour lifesaving service around the UK and Republic of Ireland.

The Lifeboat Station in Greatstone was established in 1966, with the present purpose built brick boathouse being built in 1977. The station is served by an Atlantic 85 lifeboat, Fred Clarke.

The Atlantic 85 is a rigid inflatable lifeboat with a crew of three. It has a manually operated self-righting mechanism and is capable of being beached in an emergency without sustaining damage to engines or steering gear. The Atlantic 85 is fitted with radar and VHF direction finding equipment and can be operated safely in daylight in a force 6/7 and at night in a force 5/6.

Our RNLI Souvenir Shop is open every Saturday 10am to 4pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm throughout the year, and
also Wednesday 10am to 4pm throughout the season, subject to volunteers available
