Welcome to the website of the Loughor Inshore Lifeboat. The Crew of the Loughor Inshore Lifeboat are on-call 24 hours a day to help preserve life in and around the River Loughor.

The Lifeboat is one of around 80 independent Lifeboats set up around the country, who are not part of the RNLI and receive no funding from them, although we do work together on exercises and call-outs. On the sub menus you will find all the information about the station, including photos of the crew and the Lifeboat currently on station, as well as a history of the station and also of the call-outs that we have attended.

The next call-out could come at any time, day or night, and the crew will always attend, whether they are at home or in work. Our crew come from all walks of life, we have students, a nurse, three mechanics, a water sports instructor, and also a finance manager on the crew. We currently have over 20 crew members who are trained to the highest possible standard, so that when the call comes in, they will respond in the best possible way.

We hope you enjoy looking at the website and, if you are local to Loughor, or in South Wales on holiday, you are more than welcome to visit us at the station. We are there Sunday mornings, and also Wednesday evenings, however please be reminded that the station is a working station and, due to the nature of the work carried out, it might not be possible to visit at certain times. We welcome schools, and also associations on organised visits, when you will be give a tour of the Station and the Lifeboat. You will meet the crew and, whenever possible, you will be able to watch the crew demonstrate the Lifeboat's capabilities on the water.
