Humber's Arun class lifeboat lies afloat off the tip of Spurn Point, the most southerly fragment of Yorkshire, where the Number joins the turbulent North Sea.

It is the only station with a full-time crew - the members and their families live in the isolated community of seven houses at the end of the point, which can be seen in the photo below.

The walkway and jetty, belonging to the Number pilots, is shared by the RNLI crew and the lifeboat, which is moored at the top of the picture, is reached by a davit launched boarding boat, just visible to the far right of the jetty.
