RNLI Lifeboat Fleet - Inshore Rescue Boats

It’s easy to get caught out around our coasts. A few weeks ago, RNLI Hoylake Lifeboat Station volunteers were called to rescue two dog walkers who had become stuck in the mud. With the tide coming in, the crew had to act fast… Always remember to check tide times and carry a means of calling for help when heading out (as the couple in this video did). If you see someone in trouble, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard. | RNLI

What a beauty 🤩 Watch RNLI Hoylake Lifeboat Station’s rescue hovercraft in action on the Mersey. Here's why you should love our hovercraft as much as we do: 1. It can operate in areas and on terrain, like mud, sand and shallow water, that are inaccessible for our other lifeboats. 2. As long as there's sufficient space, it can launch from any flat area, such as a car park or beach. 3. It is fast and manoeuvrable with a top speed of 30 knots, allowing our volunteers to reach casualties quickly. �
