Hemsby Lifeboat

Hemsby Lifeboat, also known as Hemsby Inshore Rescue Service, is an independent search and rescue service located in the seaside town of Hemsby, Norfolk, England. Established in 1975, it was created in response to local drownings following the withdrawal of the nearest RNLI lifeboat. The service operates several vessels, including the Atlantic 75 Inshore lifeboat named Sea Weaver, and a D-class Inshore lifeboat, with a focus on both coastal and inland rescues on the Norfolk Broads. Hemsby Lifeboat is a registered charity and plays a crucial role in ensuring safety along the increasingly eroded coastline, actively seeking a new station location due to ongoing coastal erosion challenges. Visitors can learn about the lifeboat's history and its vital community service while enjoying the scenic coastal views of Hemsby.
