The first lifeboat was established in Courtmacsherry in 1825 - one of the first to be founded in Ireland.
The lifeboat is very central to the life of Courtmacsherry and is very much part of the proud history and tradition of this beautiful seaside village.
The station's current lifeboat is the "Frederick Storey Cockburn" - a "Trent" class lifeboat. This class of lifeboat was designed to lie afloat at a deep water mooring or at a berth.
At Courtmacsherry the lifeboat lies approximately 100 yards offshore from the lifeboat station and is accessed by a small boarding boat.
