Port Erin RNLI Lifeboat

21/06/2026

Yesterday, our crew members Kim, Matt and Sam took part in Parish Walk in full RNLI inshore lifeboat kit in memory of Tony.

That meant walking 19 miles in RNLI-issued drysuits with integrated steel toe and sole wellies, life jackets, and helmets (although the helmets didn’t last long once the sun came out!). Altogether, the kit weighed around 10kg.

It was far harder than any of us expected, and we’re definitely feeling worse for wear today, but it was a challenge we were proud to take on.

So far, we’ve raised an incredible £1,660, which puts us at 66% of our fundraising target. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated and supported us.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us on the day (especially Ditte & Tom!) for your kind donations and for helping us honour Tony’s memory and support a cause that means so much to us.

There’s still time to donate, and every penny will go towards supporting the lifesaving work of Port Erin RNLI Lifeboat. Please find the link in our bio and in the comments below 🧡🧡

Now that we've had the first of hopefully many warm spells, remember that the water can still be very cold.

If you’re in trouble in the water, could save your life:

• Tilt your head back with ears submerged
• Relax and try to control your breathing
• Use your hands to help you stay afloat
• It’s OK if your legs sink, we all float differently

Practise floating at as supervised location, such as a swimming pool.

Remember it. Practise it. Share it.

🛟WE ARE RECRUITING!🛟

Every RNLI crew is made up of brilliant people in many different roles, from boat and shore crew to launch authorities and many, many more. It takes a whole team working together behind the scenes and on the water to make sure our lifeboat can launch and save lives at sea.

If you are passionate about Saving Lives at Sea, willing to learn new skills, and enjoy being part of a hard-working, dedicated team, we could have the ideal volunteering opportunity for you!

Being a RNLI Volunteer is one of the most exciting and fulfilling roles you can do.

We currently have these roles that we are looking to fill:

Inshore Lifeboat Crew - Port Erin
https://volunteering.rnli.org/vacancy/ilb-crew---port-erin-611641.html

Shore Crew - Port Erin
https://volunteering.rnli.org/vacancy/shore-crew---port-erin-611644.html

The RNLI’s Lifeboat Station in Port Erin is looking for volunteers to join the existing team in the role of Shore Crew.
