Redcar RNLI Lifeboat Station

Redcar Lifeboat Station is located on the Promenade at Redcar, a town on the northern coast of Yorkshire, historically North Yorkshire, now Redcar and Cleveland.

A lifeboat was first placed at Redcar in 1802. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1858.

The station currently operated two Inshore Lifeboats (ILB); the B-class (Atlantic 85) Leicester Challenge III (B-858), on station since 2012, and the smaller D-class (IB1) Eileen May Loach-Thomas (D-786), on station since 2015.
