Independent lifeboats in Britain and Ireland

Independent lifeboats in Britain and Ireland is a list of lifeboat services which are not part of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) (established 1854), or its predecessor, the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS) (established 1824), even though the RNLI is itself independent. There are about 80 independent lifeboat services operating throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Channel Islands, on coasts and inland waterways, comprising around a quarter of the lifeboat services in the UK and Ireland.
