Your chance to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience at Whitby lifeboat station.

Whitby Lifeboat VIP Station Tour Experience

You’re invited to take part in a very special VIP behind-the-scenes experience at Whitby Lifeboat Station. This is not your normal station tour. This experience will get you closer to the volunteers at Whitby as you see up close the impressive engineering of RNLI lifeboats and the hard work and dedication it takes to be a lifesaver. What’s more, the price of your ticket will help fund their lifesaving work.

Your VIP Package includes:

A unique 90-minute tour of the lifeboat station. See the lifeboat(s) up close and get inside the kit room where the crew get ready to save lives.

An expert to guide you behind the scenes, explain how the station works, and answer any questions you have about the RNLI.

A free hot drink in the crew room where you will hear some exciting rescue stories from the volunteers at the station.

An exclusive pin badge with the name of the lifeboat station, as a precious memento of your VIP experience.

A certificate of thanks from the crew at Whitby as gratitude for making a visit to their station and for all your support of their work.

Useful Information

The format and content of the tour may vary, dependant on the tide and weather conditions in the local area. Whilst we will endeavour to provide access to the boat(s), this will only be undertaken when weather and operational conditions permit and it is safe to do so.

As the station is operational, should a 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.

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. Tours will start at the beginning of the slot booked, please feel free to arrive on site 10 minutes before the start time.

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