Peel is the flanking station, North of Port Erin.  The Mersey class Lifeboat, "Ruby Clarey" was stationed at Peel in 1992.  It is carriage launched on a slipway adjacent to the outer breakwater with the boathouse neatly placed under Peel Castle at the start of the breakwater.

With Peel and Port Erin being the only two stations on the West coast of the island , a lot of calls involve the two stations working together.

RAMSEY

Ramsey in the North of the island also has a Mersey class Lifeboat, "Ann and James Ritchie" stationed at Ramsey in 1991.  It is carriage launched off the main sandy beach.  They cover most of the North and North-East coast of the island.

DOUGLAS

There has been a Tyne class lifeboat stationed in the capital of the island since 1988.  It is called "Sir William Hillary" after the founder of the R.N.L.I. who resided in Douglas, living in the Fort Anne just above  the site of the present boathouse.

Douglas lifeboat is launched from a slipway situated on the South Quay, just before the Battery Pier and the outer breakwater.

PORT ST. MARY

Port St. Mary is the flanking station South of Port Erin.  The station currently has two lifeboats stationed here, a 'D' class inshore lifeboat "Hounslow" and the second newest lifeboat on station in the island, a Trent class lifeboat "Gough Ritchie II".

The Trent is on an afloat mooring next to the outer breakwater, while the 'D' class and boarding boat are housed in the boathouse just at the start of the breakwater.
