Stanswood Beach Rescue works closely with Hamble Lifeboat to help keep the waters of the Solent safe. Through a strong partnership, both organisations support each other in training, operational exercises, and real-life rescue incidents.
Regular joint training sessions allow volunteers from both teams to develop their skills, practice coordinated search and rescue procedures, and ensure effective communication during incidents. These exercises help build strong working relationships and ensure that when an emergency occurs, both organisations can respond quickly and efficiently together.
During live incidents, Stanswood Beach Rescue may assist Hamble Lifeboat by providing additional shoreline search teams, inshore rescue craft, or local knowledge of the Stanswood and Calshot areas. Likewise, Hamble Lifeboat provides valuable offshore rescue capability and support when incidents require larger lifeboat assets.
By working together, both teams strengthen the overall search and rescue capability in the area, helping to protect those who enjoy the coastline and waters of the Solent.
