RNLI TORBAY

Always on call to Save Lives at Sea

DONATE NOW

Welcome to RNLI Torbay, one of the UK’s busiest lifeboat stations which is run almost entirely by volunteers. Here you’ll find our charity’s latest news, key facts on our all-weather (ALB) and inshore lifeboats (ILB), snippets about the lifeboat station and the people who make it tick.

RNLI Torbay’s crew have been saving lives in the waters in and around Torbay and out into the English Channel in all weathers for over 150 years. We are really lucky to have the support of a wonderful band of fundraising volunteers (Torbay Lifeboat Fundraisers) who work tirelessly to keep our boats afloat. Check out the fundraising tab for the latest on what they’ve been up to. And if you’d like to join our friendly team of volunteers, you’ll find all the details on how to get in touch with us on the contacts page.
