Two smiling people casually walk barefoot along a beach along a beach in dryrobe towel robes and hats and each holding a yeti mug. One is carrying a yeti cool box over their shoulder.

Our Float to Live competition is now closed

Entries have now closed for our giveaway of a prize bundle from our partners YETI and Dryrobe. Five lucky people won the ultimate beach day prize bundle:

  • 2 x Full-Zip Towel Robes
  • 2 x Dryrobe Quick Dry Brimmed Hats
  • 1 x YETI Roadie 15 Cool Box
  • 2 x YETI Rambler 25oz Straw Mugs

We don't have any competitions running at the moment but check back again for our next one. We've previously had giveaways for Zoggs goggles, tow floats and waterproof phone pouches.

We also have a range of kit available in RNLI Shop to help you make the most of days out on the coast. Every pound you spend in our shop goes towards saving lives at sea.
