Hope Cove Life Boat

Your Lifeboat

Hope Cove Life Boat was formed in 2011 to save lives in Bigbury Bay. Operating from Hope Cove, our “patch” stretches from Prawle Point across to Stoke Point, near the mouth of the River Erme.

We are a completely independent lifeboat, not part of a larger organisation, but we work alongside teams from the RNLI, HM Coastguard, Devon Air Ambulance and other agencies.

Each year the Hope Cove Life Boat is called to around 30 “shouts.” Since 2011 we’ve saved hundreds of lives.
