In an emergency please dial 999, and ask for the coastguard.

The Mablethorpe Lifeboat Station covers a 20-mile section of the coastline of Lincolnshire, from the south of Saltfleetby Haven to the North of the North Sea Observatory at Chapel Point.

The team is made up of 13 individuals who work very hard to keep visitors to our local award-winning beaches safe for everyone. Mablethorpe RNLI operates two inshore lifeboats: an Atlantic 85 and a D class.

You can read more about the team over on the HMCoastguard website.

A Brief History

Mablethorpe’s first lifeboat station was established in 1883, which replaced the outdated station in the nearby village of Theddlethorpe. Upon its official opening, 10,000 people were in attendance to show their support!

Sadly this station presented several issues when it came to accessing and launching the lifeboats, and a new station was built down Victoria Road. This building is now known as “The Boat Shed”, and is home to the Mablethorpe & Sutton Men’s Shed. The first lifeboat that was stationed at Mablethorpe was “The Heywood”, and during its lifespan was launched on 24 different occasions, saving 13 lives.
