Alderney RNLI Lifeboat Station

Alderney Lifeboat Station is located at Braye Harbour, on the island of Alderney, the northernmost of the inhabited Channel Islands. It is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, a British Crown dependency.

A lifeboat was first stationed at St Anne on Alderney by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1869, but was closed in 1884. The station was re-established 100 years later at Braye harbour in 1984.[1]

The station currently operates an Trent-class All-weather lifeboat, 14-29 Inner Wheel II (ON 1245), on station since 2024.[2]
