Lifeboats-USA

Lifeboats-USA was founded on 6 October 2006 by Klaus G.E. Baumann to provide Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) assistance to the recreational boating public and small fishing vessels in distress. 

It is the initial goal to raise funds to design and build a suitable 28' Lifeboat along with its first Lifeboat Station in Saint Augustine, Florida.

The Lifeboats-USA Station will also have classrooms for Public Education on Boating Safety and Preventative SAR.  It will serve as a model for additional Lifeboat-USA stations in needed areas.

Lifeboats-USA is a non-profit organization and receives no funding from any government agency.

There are four (4) membership categories to choose from.

Operations Unit Staff and Crew Support 24/7 is only the beginning of what Lifeboats-USA is all about.

We need your support with volunteer time and money – so that others might live.
