Ryde Inshore Rescue is an Independent Lifeboat station based on the Isle of Wight. We operate two Inshore lifeboats from our headquarters at Appley. As a declared service we attend a variety of incidents from boats running aground on the infamous Ryde Sands to children getting swept out to sea on inflatables in offshore winds. Our team is made up of volunteers from all walks of life who share the common interest in wanting to help others. Training is to a high standard and the volunteers need to be able to give at least 1 day a week to ensure that they meet the requirements to become operational. We survive solely on the generosity of the public and with running costs of around £40,000 per p.a. and as part of that fundraising we can offer a safety boat service to film crews.Image
