Your Lifeboat
Hope Cove Life Boat was formed in 2011 to save lives in Bigbury Bay. Operating from Hope Cove, our “patch” stretches from Prawle Point across to Stoke Point, near the mouth of the River Erme.
We are a completely independent lifeboat, not part of a larger organisation, but we work alongside teams from the RNLI, HM Coastguard, Devon Air Ambulance and other agencies.
Each year the Hope Cove Life Boat is called to around 30 “shouts.” Since 2011 we’ve saved hundreds of lives.
Your Support keeps the lifeboat afloat
As an independent boat we have to raise 100% of the funding to keep the lifeboat afloat. It costs us over £1,500 to launch the boat for each shout.
There are lots of ways you can support the lifeboat. Join one of our regular events, sign up for the 50:50 club, or make a donation. And if you haven’t got your Hope Cove Life Boat hoodie or merch, what are you waiting for?
Get involved
We’re always looking for people to join our boat, shore and fundraising crews. Being part of the lifeboat crew is a hugely rewarding experience. There are lots of ways to get involved.
Safety on the water
We want people to be able to go and enjoy the water. A few simple steps can help keep you safe.
