- When the pager sounds, RNLI crews don't know what they'll be responding to - it could be anything from rescuing a dog that has slipped down a cliff, to a massive tanker drifting in storm force conditions.
This compilation highlights a few of the bravest ever rescues captured on camera, starting with the rescue of the Green Lily in the huge waves of the North Sea...

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. 95% of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 248 beaches across the UK and Channel Islands, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.
If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

This is why this charity always gets my donation. The word 'heroes' isn't strong enough for these folks. God forbid I should ever need their services but the mere sight of these orange-clad saviours coming to rescue me would probably save my life.
Thanks so much for your kind words John!
DOES FRANCE NOT HAVE AN EQUIVALENT TO THE RNLI ,IT IS THEM THAT SHOULD "RESCUE " THEM IN FRENCH WATERS AND RETURN THEM THE NEAREST PORT IN FRANCE .EITHER THAT OR OUR RNLI "RESCUE"THEM IN FRENCH WATERS AND TAKE THEM TO THE NEAREST FRENCH PORT AND END THIS FARCE OF FRENCH BORDER FORCE/NAVY ESCORTING BOATS INTO BRITISH WATERS AND THE RNLI "RESCUING" THEM AND BRINGING THEM TO DOVER ,WHEN IF THEY WERE IN REAL NEED OF RESCUING THE FRENCH NAVY/BORDER FORCE COULD HAVE DONE THAT IN FRENCH WATERS,EVERY MIGRANT THAT IS IMPORTED BY THE RNLI COSTS THE BRITISH TAXPAYER A MILLION POUND'S A YEAR AND THEY WONDER WHY PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED DONATING TO THE RNLI ,AND THE RNLI RUNNING FANCY ADVERTS WILL NOT SAVE THEM ON THIS ,THEY ARE AN ANTI BRITISH ORGANISATION NOW AND WHAT THEY DO BY ASSISTING ILLEGAL MIGRANTS IS A FORM OF INSURRECTION , I WILL NEVER DONATE TO THEM AGAIN WHEN EVERY MIGRANT THEY IMPORT REMOVES FUNDING FOR OUR OWN PEOPLES SOCIAL SERVICES ,HOUSING AND NHS
I did 25 years as a Boatswain's Mate in the US Coast Guard. I drove ships and boats for a living. These folks are the real deal. These are the men and women you want coming after you if you get in trouble. Top notch sailors one and all.
Appreciate your support John
Or if you're crossing the Channel on a small boat
20 years before the mast !! It aint no game, brothers and sisters. This is as rough and tough as it gets.
Respect from USA
Thank you! Greetings from the UK and Ireland
My grandfather served the RNLI for over 30 years. Got countless certificates and met the Queen, he was in the merchant navy before that, a true sailer! I couldn't be prouder.
😂
Wow
Respect and Honor Friend
Yeah, He'd be So proud of the channel taxi service it has become 😏
These are the sort of men and woman that should get medals. Hero's
Yes watching those two girls going out in 2 foot waves in the sunshine filled me with awe.
There are no women in those jobs. They cant really handle it, its way too physically and mentally demanding (very few men could either). As lifeguards sure, but not on lifeboats.
@@rykehuss3435
Oh really? You know this how exactly? I know this may surprise you but there are women in all forms of emergency search and rescue. Yeah, I know, who'd have thunk it. Their bustles and corsets must really hold them back. Oh wait. It's the twenty-first century. Wow, will you look at that. Over fifty years since the first woman, at the tender age of 18 years old, was the first woman crew, and later went on to command. Fifty years. You sad little fellow.
Sue Mead No there arent women in all forms of search and rescue. Because the hardest jobs are so hard that there are basically a handful of women in the world who could do them (with great genetics making them more like men than women, thanks to bone structure, testosterone etc). Doesn't matter what century it is, evolution doesn't work over centuries. Biology is biology, sexual dimorphism is sexual dimorphism even if you stomp your feet on the ground about it. Doesn't change facts.
Rykehuss. I am sure playing video games gave you that insight.
When there is no hope someone will come and rescue you in the middle of the sea this guy's will risky their lives and go through the storm to save your life they all's are angel to me they love their jobs God please take good care of this men and women all over the world who risking their lives to protect us Inn Sha Allah....
Thank you for your support.
Then only thing more impressive than the skill is the bravery.

Heroes all, bravest of the brave. So proud of everyone in the RNLI. The only monthly payment I’ll never consider stopping.
Sadly I’m from the us so I would donate but can’t due to currency differences
@Anthony It's certainly true that the word "hero" gets overused these days. Still, I'm having a really hard time imagining a window washer whose job compares to the RNLI. :-)
@@brownpcsuncedu Some of them might be window washers, these folk mainly have a day-job too.
everyone is a hero now days, such stupid times we live in!
@@jllrue to volunteer to save people's lives in rough seas is most definitely noble and heroic.
Proud to say my sis is a volunteer for the RNLI
You must be so proud!
RNLI I am 😃
Takes a brave and selfless person to do what she does, you must have a great sister 🙂👍
Adam Milan I do thanks
I left school in 1966 went straight into merchant navy, Methane Gas carrier's and then Oil Tankers and i Take my Hat off to these Brave Men and Women who Go to sea regardless of the weather to save Lives
Thanks for your support Paul, we're always pleased to hear from the fellow seafarers who stand beside us.
1:31 RIP to a brave soul who lost his life to saving others.
Rest in peace
Amen +
my grandad was on the severn boat for that axedent
May his soul be at rest ✝️
Jesus. That’s terrifying. What special special men and women who do that for complete strangers. I could not have more respect for these people.
Mostly men mate
What’s that go to do with it? 🤷🏽♂️
@@leonhealy7499 just thought you should have a better idea of who is really out there saving people
@@joshss6447 A very outdated view. There are dedicated female crew members serving at lifeboat stations across the UK and Ireland, including in the position of coxswain.
@@rnli and never forget Grace Darling and her Dad
All voluntary as well, very brave lads & lasses.
Humbled to see the selfless commitment of these brave people ❤
Thank you ❤
Thank you 💙
Very brave fellows. They must have strong stomachs.
Brave people
yes, sometimes they certainly are except when they are being a taxi service for the boat people. a lorry driver would get fined for doing exactly the same thing.
@@brian.7966 Lifeboat crews only ever launch to help people who are in danger. Shame on you for believing otherwise.
Heroes all of you, thanks for all you do.
Thank you for your support, Mike.
thank you folks of RNLI you are all heroines and heroes
Thanks so much for your support :)
As long standing Governors of the RNLI, this still brings a tear to my eye. I’m so proud of these guys and girls who put their lives at risk to save others.
Thank you.
No offence but I hope never to have to meet you out there.
Colin & Julie
We hope you never need us either Colin and Julie. Thank you for your support.
Thank you!
Thank you.
God bless those Heroes.i know first hand what conditions they meet during their endesvour to Save Lifes and the least we can do apart from our gratitude is help in any matter this great Institution that saves Human Lifes.
Not easily moved but watching that put a massive lump in my throat, the fear of what the sea can do and the unbelievable bravery and selflessness of the people of the RNLI, unbelievable.
around the 3:50 mark where the newhaven lifeboat is near the shore, you see a member of the crew on the beach next to a harbour arm. sadly that lad was never recovered, silly kids daring him to go in for a swim in that weather. but rite where the crew member is standing is now a plaque on the arm dedicated to the lad as his body remains unrecovered to this day. the upmost respect to the crew for their efforts regardless, and to all the other volunteer RNLI members in the uk.
Volunteers risking their lives to rescue those imperiled at sea, humanity at its finest. God Bless! Much respect.
There are only two charities I donate to, RNLI and the local Air Ambulance, being a horse and motorbike rider and recreational sea angler, one day I may need either of them, so want to ensure they are there.
Great work, when the SHTF there are people who you can really rely on.
I'm professional firefighter and I can understand what your job mean for you. Seeing what you do make me ..(sorrry for my English) I have tears! You're reals heroes. Thanks
These men operating these rescue vessels deserve to be given a mansion and lifetime supply of their choice of whiskey and beer!
This is so incredibly dangerous... Think about it... Getting a call that the weather has damaged and disabled a huge trawler - then knowing that you will soon be in the same water in another boat.
I spend alot of time offshore fishing - and we were once caught in a completely ridiculous storm - it went from seas under 1 meter to seas of 3-4 meters and our boat was 8 meters long.
The storm was not forecast by any weather station, and we were listening to the radio during the storm and NOAA was still reporting a 1-2 meter swell in the area we were in - we called the coast guard every 10 minutes to update them on our position and condition - and luckily we were in an extremely capable boat (World Cat - a 25ft power catamaran center console with twin 150hp engines... And we made it through the storm after battling for about 2 hours.
We had many, many waves break over the bow of the boat and there were waves that peaked at around 5 meters /15 feet... Over half the length of our boat.
We were 70 miles out to sea.
Yes, I was scared.
But we had taken all precautions we could - self inflating life raft, a ditch bag full of water and a solar still (and 10 year shelf stable energy bars - 100 in total - and flares, mirror, etc.
An EPIRB of course, as well as constant updates to the Coast Guard of our lat/long every 10 minutes.
They told us that if they did not hear from us for 20 minutes and received an EPIRB distress signal from anywhere within 20 nautical miles of our last reported position they would deploy a rescue chopper within 5 minutes.
That made me feel MUCH better.
When we cleared the storm, we reported that info to the coast guard.
The reply we got was chilling - the radio operator said that they were literally ALL in agreement that our vessel would go down and we'd need rescue - the guy said he's had similar situations before where fisherman were caught in storms and every time he had to send rescue of some type.
The coast guard also must have contacted the weather people because halfway through the storm the NOAA weather radio FINALLY began reporting the storm, but they were still saying estimated winds of 40-50 knots... We absolutely had winds of over 80 knots at times. I live in Florida and have been through 5 hurricanes - Irma, Charley, Frances, Another in 2004 that I forget the name of - Joanne maybe?... And Katrina.
My hats off to the men and women who operated that radio that day - they kept our spirits up and they were absolutely professional and I am eternally grateful.
Had our boat gone down or capsized - I belive 100% that those people would have rescued us, unless we were swept away from our boat or we were not able to stay in a group.
Thank you to the United States Coast Guard!
It had another benefit - whenever I am boarded by the coast guard I ask them if they were part of that rescue - and they NEVER issue me a citation for anything and we give them beer. Every time they accept it at least - I remember being boarded about 3 years later and my flares were expired by about 2 weeks - which is my fault and absolutely no excuse on my part to not check that - but rather than a ticket, one of the Coasties recognized our boat name from that day we were stuck in the storm.
He was the "jumper"... The guy that they lower on a rope or jumps from the chopper.
He said he was convinced that he was going to need to come rescue us that day... And I finally got to saying thank you face to face with one of the people who helped us through that storm and would have risked their lives to come save us if necessary.
He got beer, he got a fresh blackfin tuna to bring back to the ship for dinner, and he got a BIG ass man hug from myself, my father and my buddy who were all on the boat that day we were caught up in the storm.
I get happy now when I see a Coast Guard cutter heading our way - and every time I see a USCG boat far out in the gulf of Mexico I can't help but to radio them and just say thank you for being in the area and thank you for what you do.
You'd be surprised how much they appreciate that.
Coasties don't want to spend all day checking flares and writing tickets I'm sure... So a little thank you goes a long way!
Always thank your local coast guard and rescue personnel - and DON'T GIVE THEM SHIT IF THEY BOARD YOUR VESSEL'S!!!
THEY ARE CHECKING YOUR EQUIPMENT TO ENSURE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO SURVIVE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT!!!
Great story...thank you so much!
Wow an incredible story that demonstrates the unpredictable power of the sea all around the world. And thank you for sharing the importance of keeping safety equipment in date and serviced too - you simply never know when you might need them. Stay safe 🙌
@@rnli I can say that if I were to ever find myself offshore your waters, I would be prepared with all necessary safety equipment... But I would feel good knowing that if things went to absolute hell, your courageous men and/or women would be there quickly.
I applaud and commend everyone who risks their lives to save someone they have never seen before, and you do not get enough credit for what you do! So on behalf of every American who has never been to your beautiful island, thank you! You are true modern day heroes... And your equipment is 2nd to none!
Should you ever need a mechanic, I would love to move across the pond! I have certification from the Universal Technical Institute of Orlando, FL in Marine Mechanics and factory trained on Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Mercury outboards as well as MerCruiser stern dive and inboard... As well as diesel training on Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Cummins and Caterpillar.
Wages can be negotiated, and I know there's next to nil chance that it happens, but I would be proud to have a small part in saving lives and that's more important than money!
Until the day I finally get to visit your little gem of an island, I thank you for your service to mariners and wish you all nothing but success and safety in every training mission and rescue mission you undertake!
A Worldcat? They're basically open/bowrider type boats. I'm surprised you didn't get swamped. I've seen one or two stuff the bow on those videos at Haulover Inlet. Do you think the catamaran design helped with stability in those conditions?
@@ianrkav bow rider?... It's a center console... And those haulover videos are mostly people who have lots of money and not alot to seamanship.
Catamaran always helps stability, there's 2 hulls in the water.
The way to go into big waves head on is to get up on plane and trim the bow up... That way the bow doesn't stuff.
Same for a following sea... Meaning waves coming from behind.
If the waves are really big, and coming from behind, you basically just pick a wave and keep power on so you don't go OVER the wave... Pretty much just ride the back of the wave.
If you know what you're doing, it's easy to keep the bow out of the water.
The majority of the idiots you see on those stupid haulover cans videos stuff the bow for 3 reason's -
1...too much weight /passengers on the bow
2...allowing a large swell from behind to overtake the boat, then you are just surfing the front of the wave and the bow is pointed down, plus you lose most of your ability to steer and lose all ability to trim the boat.
3...going too fast, trying to show off.... If you're doing 60mph and jumping waves it's very easy to get the timing wrong and launch off one wave with the bow flying high, then only the stern hits the next wave which forces the bow down and you stuff it hard into the next wave.
Staying up on plane, keeping the proper speed and trim will get a good seaworthy vessel through some REALLY nasty seas.
Only time we've ever taken a wave over the bow was because a wave that was higher than the boat broke over the bow. Not much you can do in that situation, if there's a 10ft wave breaking then you're gonna have to power through it and hold on.
We've taken MANY more waves over the bow when anchored in 3-4 ft waves than we ever have running into 6-8 foot waves. Anchor rope attached to the sea floor keeps the bow down... And then it's more like a splash over the bow than stuffing the bow. Not dangerous at all.
Don't judge a boats sea-worthiness by CZcams videos - most people in Miami have more money than brains and they are showing off or have little to no experience in going through a pass.
We go through Clearwater pass all the time, and it gets just as bad as haulover. The pass faces directly west - so when the tide is going out (water moving from eat to west) and the wind is straight out of the west, then the waves stack up much higher than normal cuz the wind and current are going against each other. There's been probably a hundred days when the seas offshore were 2-3 ft and the waves in the pass were 6+ft just because of the tide and wind going against each other.
We've taken that boat through seas just as bad as anything you've seen on any of the haulover channels with no problem whatsoever. Yeah the waves will sometimes splash us but we've never stuffed the bow really hard even going through 8+ft seas.
It's all about the speed, timing and trim of the boat... Which are all variables that a good captain can control and make it through safely.
Catamarans are absolutely 100% better than a V-hull in rough seas. That's exactly what catamarans are designed for. Much smoother ride too bc you don't get hull slap.
If I'm captaining I'd take a 25ft catamaran over a 30ft V hull 100% of the time. Handle rough seas better, much smoother ride in rough seas, and typically more fuel efficient and faster than a V-hull of the same size and same power.
Our 25ft world cat with twin 150's is a fantastic offshore boat.
My father upgraded to a 42ft catamaran with twin 350's and that thing eats waves like it's nothing. Plus it's much wider and much more stable at anchor because it has 2 hulls spaced wide apart instead of rolling back and forth on the centerline of the V hulled equivalent.
The only weird thing that takes time getting used to is that a catamaran leans outwards when turning like a car... And v hulls lean into the turn.
You can flip a catamaran if you try to take a really sharp turn at high speed... But if you know you're boat you don't do stupid shit like that lol
Absolute hero's. Every one of them
Such kind words, thank you so much for your support ❤
@@rnli thankyou for keeping us mariners safe on your own time for free. ❤️ Merry Xmas to all rnli staff
Aww, that's so lovely of you ❤ Merry Christmas to you too 🎄🎅
When the going gets tough, the tough get their kit on and get going! Respect to all RNLI and lifeboat crews
I can say after years as an RNLI crewman, it never gets less scary when the sea is a bit messy, but it is fun. That is, until you're too late to help someone. To all that say thank you to us lot, we say thank you for continuing to support the charity in the the many ways you do. Its not all about those of us that go to sea, far from it in fact.
My hat's off to you fine sir, and likewise to your fellow crewmen who answer the call of distress upon the waters. Thank you and Godspeed. From NC, USA
You're all heroes to us.💚
How many illegal immigrants did you help over?
@@Zwia. Are you saying you would rather they drowned? Are they only to answer a call if it comes from a UK national?

Let's not overlook the balls of whom ever backed the tractor into the storm
I wonder how they even walk around with the amount of brass hanging down there
My guess is that it was the weight of said balls that kept the tractor firmly in place.
Funny how buoyant balls of steel are.
Considering the colossal contribution of women, maybe the balls thing needs retirement

And to think they used to do all that with man-power alone, rowing out regardless of the conditions. My dear old Dad used to tell us stories of the Lifeboat Service when we were kids, and when we went to the UK in the 60's we got to go inside the shed and see a boat. We were most impressed by the launching ramp (I was 10yr). True hero's in my book.
What a lovely story - thank you for sharing that with us! Huge thanks for your support.
I have nothing but praise for all RNLI crews, their courage, dedication and skill are beyond belief - May God protect every one of them in their service.
Highest regard for these people..

Thankyou RNLI ♥️
I started supporting the RNLI over a decade ago, recruited to the cause on a beach in Devon. These courageous men and women risk everything to rescue lives around the coastlines of country. In these hard times due to COVID, they don’t have volunteers out and about fundraising to support the costs of around £500k a day to keep going. Anyone can contribute on their web site, please give to this worthy cause.
Thanks so much for your support, Will - we wouldn't be able to continue our lifesaving work without incredible supporters like you 🙏
These guys, are the true heroes in my book, they risk all to save us!
Very Brave ( HERO,S ) all of them ...
RESPECT
So much respect fpr the crews of the RNLI. Brave men and women. One and all.
I watch because I am captivated by the willpower of those who ever go down to the ocean and then these RNLI people always bring me to tears. God loves us so much to make such men and women.. I pray for them even in my dreams.
Only charity I will support without hesitation, as an avid fisherman I hope to never need rescuing but if I did, thank god for the RNLI
Absolutely bloody magnificent! Well done to you all.
To think most of these crews are volunteers. Really puts things into perspective
They truly are amazing!
Volunteers, OUTSTANDING.
The men and women of the RNLI are the best in the world at what they do. Volunteers, most of them don't get paid but are willing to put their lives in danger. Heroes 💚👍
Thank you, we really appreciate your support and consideration for our dedicated lifesavers 💙
If I was rich, I would donate so much money to the RNLI! They do a wonderful job and put themselves at risk to save others, and that goes for the coastguards as well. I can only afford to donate a small amount each month which I do without fail.
Keep up the fantastic work. It is very much appreciated.
The problem the rich people can do this . And a donation you can thake of from tax bill
So les go to the state
Na, the RNLI shouldn't be a charity, it should be part of the emergency services and funded as such.
@@ZJS0113 Why isn’t the RNLI a emergency service? Always wondered why
