Dramatic sea rescues | RNLI rescue roundup 2025

In 2025, RNLI volunteers launched on lifesaving missions all over the UK and Ireland – from Fraserburgh to Newhaven, Happisburgh to Barry Dock. This compilation brings together some of the year’s powerful, real rescue footage, captured by our brave crews.

Watch how the crews use their lifeboats, kit and training to respond to emergencies out at sea, facing extreme weather and dramatic sea conditions together.
