Welcome to Humber Rescue - one of Britain's busiest independent lifeboats
The River Humber is said to be one of the most dangerous navigable rivers in the world. It is not surprising that even the most experienced of navigators can be caught out by its shifting sands and seven knot currents.
Humber Rescue is an independent charity responsible for the provision of a fast-response rescue boat on the rivers of the Humber Estuary.
Prior to the service provided by Humber Rescue there was no dedicated rescue or safety vessel on the upper Humber. The area covered by Humber Rescue is approximately 540 sq. miles and includes the Rivers, Trent, Ouse, Hull and Humber.
