Freshwater Independent Lifeboat operates 2 boats 24/7 in an area up to 30M off shore from Hurst Point to St Catherine’s point on the Isle of Wight.

Entirely independent we rely on donations and fundraising by our volunteers to run this service.

Our crews are all volunteers who give their time willingly to save lives at sea and undertake the training to do this.  We are always pleased to meet new volunteers at the boathouse on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings.

If you want to volunteer to help us fundraise or join the crew - find out more.
