The Sumner Lifeboat Institution is
a completely autonomous, voluntary marine rescue organisation established in the eastern sea-side
suburb of Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand. It began rescue
work using 'dedicated' lifeboats in 1898 and has continued
to this day. A founder member of the Royal New
Zealand Coastguard Federation in 1976, it has been instrumental
in establishing similar units in other parts of New
Zealand.
Sumner Lifeboat actively encourages the nationwide
development of Boating Education to the New Zealand boating public via the
Coastguard Federation and is still actively engaged in this role. Sumner
Lifeboat currently owns and operates three lifeboats. For more information
