Great Yarmouth and Gorleston Lifeboat Station, (not to be confused with Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight), is located at Riverside Road in Gorleston, at the mouth of the River Yare, on the east coast of Norfolk.
Management of Great Yarmouth Lifeboat Station, established in 1825, was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1857. Gorleston Lifeboat Station was established by the RNLI in 1866, although a number of other lifeboats had been in operation at Gorleston since 1802, and continued until 1939. The two RNLI branches merged in 1926, to form Great Yarmouth and Gorleston Lifeboat Station.
The station currently operates the Trent-class All-weather lifeboat 14-10 Samarbeta (ON 1208), on station since 1996, and a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, John Rowntree (B-925), on station since 2021.
