Many thanks indeed for your 'excellent' report on your recent visit to Bembridge RNLI. Notwithstanding that it was obviously not your first visit, it is nevertheless always re-assuring to know that you found something new in the shop and a close up look at our All-Weather Tamar Lifeboat, RNLB Alfred Albert Williams, was as interesting as always. For anyone reading this review, please be aware that as of 1st November, our Shop and the Offshore Boathouse will be open 2pm - 4pm weekdays and 11am - 4pm weekends.

Thank you for your review. Clearly Covid-19 restrictions have affected our ability to be open to the public, however for those reading this response, please be aware that our shop is now open from 11am to 4pm daily and our Offshore Boathouse from 11am to 3.30pm daily. I am afraid that although training launches on a Tuesday evening (7pm) still take place (but note not every Tuesday), these have to be viewed from the shore as we still are not allowed visitors in the Boathouse when the boat is launched. We look forward to welcoming you back to have a look at RNLB Alfred Albert Williams, our Tamar Class All-Weather Lifeboat. Finally, please don't forget to always "Respect the Water". If you find yourself unexpectedly in cold water, fight your instinct to swim and just float for the first three quarters of a minute.
