The £2.5m Shannon Class All Weather Lifeboat (ALB) brings with it an enhancement in lifesaving capabilities to the area!
​With a top speed of 25-knots – almost 50% faster than the Mersey – the Shannon will reach those in need much quicker, allowing Anstruther to cover a larger area of coastline.

Do you want to be part of a team that saves lives at sea?
​RNLI Anstruther would like to hear from you!
A lifeboat was first commissioned in Anstruther, Fife, Scotland in 1865.
Since then, 8 lifeboats have served the sea-going community. 

Today the Anstruther RNLI station has the
All-weather Shannon class "Robert and Catherine Steen"  (ALB)
​and an​
Inshore-operating IB1 class inflatable (ILB)

Since the foundation of the RNLI in 1824 its lifeboat crews have saved
​over 140,000 lives.
