Youghal Lifeboat Station is one of the oldest stations in Ireland as it dates back to 1839. The first lifeboat was funded by the people of Youghal at a cost of £76 to build and put into service. The Royal National Lifebaot Institution(R.N.L.I) took over the running of Youghal Lifeboat in 1857.
Today, the station operates one of the fastest and most modern lifeboats in the RNLI’s fleet, The Atlantic 75 Class Lifeboat. This boat is a rigid inflatable, 7.5 metres in length, carries a crew of three and can reach a top speed of 32 knots. This lifeboat is named the Patricia Jennings and this new boat has been on station at Youghal since September 2002.
