Selsey Lifeboat Visitor Centre

Discover Selsey’s working Lifeboat Station complete with crew on duty 24/7.  

Selsey has operated and crewed a Lifeboat Station for over 155 years!  Visitors have access to the Experience Room, (via lift) on the 1st floor, and the viewing gallery where you can get up close to our Shannon Class Lifeboat, Denise and Eric.

A member of their volunteer Visits Team will happily talk to you and answer your questions.  Visitors can watch some of our videos about the Station, the Lifeboats and the work of the RNLI and there are various things for the children to help them keep safe in and around water. 

There is a shop which sells RNLI merchandise

They are happy to organise group visits for Schools, youth and adult organisations. If you would like to have a group visit, please contact the Lifeboat Vists Officer, Colin Rycraft on 07956 546542 or for more information visit the Selsey Lifeboats website.
