Burnham-on-Crouch Lifeboat Station - RNLI

Burnham-on-Crouch has had a lifeboat station in the town for over 40 years. We are also one of only three stations in the country to have both boats kept in floating boathouses.

We have two boats – one being an Atlantic 85 B849, the ‘Tony & Robert Britt’. This boat arrived on station in August 2011. We also have an IB1, the ‘Ernest & Rose Chapman II’. This boat arrived on station in February 2007.

Having outgrown the station at the eastern end of the town, the existing station was built in 1997 at the western end of the town in the new marina. At the same time, the floating boathouses were also situated in the marina to house the Atlantic and the D-class, with the addition of a larger boathouse to accommodate the new Atlantic 85 arriving in 2011.
