MARYPORT RESCUE

OUR MISSION

At Maryport Rescue, our mission is to reduce the risk of loss of life on the sea, rivers, lakes, and inland waterways across Cumbria. We do this by providing:

Dedicated lifeboat service

Swift water and flood rescue team

Lowland rescue team


All based at Maryport Harbour and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We are also committed to promoting water safety through community education, offering outreach in schools and interactive learning at our Lifeboat Station. Proudly, we are founder members of the National Independent Lifeboat Association.

    🎨 A Huge Thank You to William Simon Wallace Art! 🙏

    We’d like to give a big thank you to the incredibly talented William Simon Wallace Art for his generous donation of two stunning pieces — featuring the well-known Maryport fishing vessels Chelaris and Charisma. ⚓🎣

    These beautiful works of art truly capture the spirit and heritage of our local fishing community, and we’re so proud to have them on display. Starting tomorrow, you can see them for yourself at Her Citi, where they’ll also be available for sale. 🖼️✨

    Thank you again, William, for sharing your talent and generosity — and for celebrating the heart of Maryport through your art. Be sure to pop by Her Citi to admire these amazing pieces (and maybe take one home!).


    All proceeds will go towards supporting Maryport Rescue, helping us continue our vital work on the water.
