Welcome

Run by the Southport Offshore Rescue Trust, Southport Lifeboat provides a lifeboat and land based search and rescue service around the Sefton coastline.

Independent of the RNLI, the Trust relies on donations and fundraising to support itself to provide a first class life saving service in an area of coast and water covering between the River Mersey and the River Ribble, and up to 25 miles offshore, including Southport Marine Lake.

The Southport Lifeboat have helped in the safe return of over 5000 people since being formed in 1988, and aim to give our crew the best equipment possible to help save lives on our coastline.
