Solent Rescue, Independent lifeboat station in Lepe Country Park, Hampshire, England
Solent Rescue operates a strategic maritime rescue facility on the north shore of the Solent, covering 33 square miles of water from Cowes to Hurst Castle.
The organization began in 1971 as a beach rescue unit and transformed into a complete lifeboat station, receiving the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2021.
The rescue facility engages local residents through educational programs and community events, promoting maritime safety knowledge across the Hampshire coastal region.
The station maintains a high-speed rescue lifeboat with a cabin, advanced navigation equipment, and a clifftop observation post for monitoring maritime activities.
The Channel 5 television program Construction Squad: Operation Homefront documented the construction of a new boathouse for Solent Rescue in November 2013.
