The RNLI

The Fethard on Sea RNLI provides a voluntary based, 24 hour lifeboat search and rescue service which covers many areas including the Waterford Estuary, while also working to help end preventable loss of life at sea through the promotion of sea and beach safety.  As a charity, the RNLI depends on the generosity of the public and the goodwill of our volunteers to maintain its search and rescue service which is essential to our coastal area.  Fethard RNLI has rescued 73 people from 109 launches in the last 10 years.
