Sunderland Lifeboat Station is located at North Dock Marina in the port city of Sunderland, which sits at the mouth of the River Wear, in the county of Tyne and Wear.
A lifeboat was first stationed here in 1800 by the Sunderland Lifeboat Committee, followed by a succession of privately operated lifeboats. Overall control of all Sunderland lifeboats finally passed to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1871.
The station currently operates two Inshore lifeboats; the B-class (Atlantic 85) Seagil (B-945), on station since 2024, and a D-class (IB1) Thee Andy Cantle (D-879), on station since 2023.
