Whitstable RNLI Lifeboat Station

Whitstable Lifeboat Station is located at Whitstable, a town overlooking the eastern end of The Swale, a tidal channel of the Thames estuary (that separates the Isle of Sheppey), sitting on the north coast of Kent.

A lifeboat station was first established at Whitstable by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1963.

The station currently operates a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, Lewisco (B-877), on station since 2014.
