Anstruther Lifeboat Visit

Anstruther Lifeboat Station tour

The team at Anstruther looks forward to welcoming you to the lifeboat station to get an up-close look at Launch a Memory Lifeboat "Robert and Catherine Steen" 13-47.

• If you could time your arrival to get to the Lifeboat Station for 5 mins before the commencement of your tour it would be very much appreciated.

• Please be aware that, at times, parking can be a challenge. Therefore, all visitors are advised to try and plan their journey and arrival times accordingly.

• Upon arrival, please make your way down to the Lifeboat Station on the middle pier and you will see a Visits Team member ready to greet you on the slipway.
• If you have a loved one's name on the boat, the Visits Team will of course be able to help you find their name on the 13-47 decal
• We'll be waiting to answer any questions you may have as well as ready to tell you about our Shannon Class Lifeboat as well as how the station and RNLI operates

As the lifeboat station is operational, should the lifeboat be called out, or the station facilities are required for an emergency, we reserve the right to cancel the visit if necessary, for the safety of visitors and station volunteers.

The format and content of our Visit Days may vary, depending on weather conditions in the local area, and due to capacity and height considerations access onto the lifeboat or into the station won’t be possible.

The lifeboat is currently housed next to the lifeboat station in a temporary compound where some of the surfaces are uneven, and as such visitors are required to wear flat-soled footwear. If mobility and uneven surfaces are a concern, please let us know in advance so we can look at ways to best facilitate your visit. As the visit takes place outside it is recommended that visitors wear clothes suitable to the weather conditions.

Children must be supervised at all times by an accompanying adult during the visit. Following the tour you can take away some information on the Shannon Class lifeboat and should you wish, you can have a look at the station visitor gallery and there is a selection of souvenirs available in the shop.

As our team are volunteers, who kindly give up their time to offer these tours, we would ask that should your plans change and you are unable to attend, please let us know by canceling your tickets on Eventbrite at the earliest.

Useful Information

There is no access to toilets at the lifeboat station, but public toilets can be found nearby in the harbour.

You will be asked to provide a mobile phone number when booking tickets in the event a visit needs to be cancelled or rescheduled at short notice, this would likely be due to an emergency shout.

If you have any questions please get in touch by email. We kindly ask that you do not contact the lifeboat station by phone.
