Digital extras

Beach finder app

The RNLI is launching a new ‘lifeguard beach finder’ mobile app which is available to download free on both Android and Apple devices. 

SMS launch alerts

Get a text message when an RNLI lifeboat launches. You can choose which stations you'd like to follow, and our system, which is connected to the actual crew pagers, will let you know when they're out on a shout.

Desktop Pager

Download our Desktop Pager and you'll be alerted when your favourite lifeboats launch. Just like our volunteer crews, you'll receive a message when it's time for a shout – but you won't have to put to sea!​

Sat nav

Our points of interest file, suitable for sat navs including TomTom and Garmin, pinpoints the exact locations of RNLI lifeboats stations around the UK and Ireland.​ 

Photostore

The coastal and all-weather nature of our lifesaving work can make for an amazing photo. Buy high-quality prints in a variety of sizes from our online photostore.​

iGoogle themes

Brighten up your iGoogle page with an RNLI theme. ​
