Our lifeboat is coming to the end of it's life. We need to purchase a  new engine, electronics, navigation equipment and personal protective equipment to ensure our volunteers have the necessary equipment to provide our voluntary service.

Founded in 1963 Tramore Sea Rescue Association has been providing a lifeboat service to the community of Tramore for 60 years. Three young men lost their lives when their canoe overturned in August 1962 in heavy seas. There was no lifeboat in Tramore BAy to attempt to assist them in their hour of need. Locals who had been involved in searching for the young men joined together to establish the service to ensure a similar tragedy didn't happen again. The local community rallied around and fundraised for a lifeboat, it's first of it's kind in Ireland. The lifeboat went on to save countless lives. Some of those members are no longer with us. Many maintain close links to the organisation with family members serving as management and crew. We honour them all by continuing their pioneering volunteering.
