<p>Hamble Lifeboat was set up in 1968. The unit was formed by local residents, fishermen, and boating enthusiast in response to an increasing number of accidents and fatalities in the Hamble River, Southampton Water and the Solent.<br><br>The unit is one of approximately 65 Independent Lifeboat stations found around the British Isles. We do not receive any funding from the RNLI or Coastguard. However we do work closely alongside the RNLI and respond to tasking from the Coastguard.<br><br>Hamble Lifeboat provides pager response, as well as weekend, Bank holiday, and major event patrols for the Rivers Hamble, Test & Itchen, Southampton Water and the Central Solent.<br><br>The unit has two Pacific 32 rigid inflatable lifeboats, which comply with the Maritime Coastguard Agency Lifeboat code and built to Lloyds A100 specification. Both boats are fully equipped to handle any situation from towing to medical emergencies.<br><br></p>
