Exmouths lifeboat station was established in 1803 and has served the community for over 220 years.

The volunteer lifeboat crew provide a 24-hour search and rescue service 365 days a year, but none of this would be possible without the support of the public and their donations. It costs in the region of £250k a year to run and maintain the service in Exmouth, all of which comes from the generous donations of the public.

Your donation will help to fund the selfless work of the volunteer lifeboat crew in Exmouth, by doing so you will be helping to save lives around our coast and will be providing the best equipment possible to ensure the safety of the volunteers.

They were an essential part of the emergency services called on Christmas Day 2025 when two swimmers went missing and many more were rescued from the huge waves. RNLI crews stayed out in searching in rough seas for hours. As a keen sea swimmer I am very much aware of the dangers they face and the heroism they show.

One of the men lost that day was a friend.
