Launch a Memory

You will receive a warm welcome from our dedicated Anstruther Visits Team who will facilitate and host visits to see our new Shannon, Launch a Memory boat. To reserve your free ticket to one of our scheduled tours, just visit our dedicated Eventbrite page. If, however, you wish to arrange a private visit to see the Anstruther Lifeboat, you can email our Visits Officer direct by emailing [email protected]. Please be advised that all visits are subject to operational commitments, or 'shouts'. Therefore, at times, some visits may have to be cancelled at very short notice, so you are advised to make your travel plans as flexible as possible.
