Wesley boats
The Samuel Wesley, a Mersey-Class vessel built in 1990 for the RNLI, is a perfect example of the way lifeboats see most aspects of human life, from beginning to end – as well as most of the events in between!
Originally named the Lincolnshire Poacher, she had an active service life stationed in Skegness, Anstruther & Rhyl before being retired in 2020. She is the first of our fleet which are all connected by the Wesley nomenclature.
Mersey-class lifeboats are versatile all-weather vessels still operated by the RNLI along the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland. Our boats have been specially adapted to comfortably accommodate up to ten guests & two crew led by an experienced Coxswain.
