Skegness RNLI Lifeboat Station

Skegness Lifeboat Station is located at Tower Esplanade, in the town of Skegness, south of the Humber Estuary and north of The Wash, on the east coast of England, in the county of Lincolnshire.

A lifeboat station was first established at Skegness in 1830, by the Lincolnshire Coast Shipwreck Association (LCSA), when they transferred the lifeboat, and closed the Gibraltar Point Lifeboat Station. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1864.

The station currently operates an All-weather Shannon-class lifeboat, 13-17 Joel and April Grunnill (ON 1324), on station since 2017, and a D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat, The Holland Family (D-842), on station since 2019.
