Fisherman Trapped on Burning Boat | Saving Lives At Sea | S05 E02 | Full Episode

When the pagers sound the only thing the volunteers know for sure is to expect the unexpected, the unpredictable seas around Britain’s coast mean they can be called out to everything and anything. On the Wirral coast, the crew of Hoylake’s rescue hovercraft are called out to an unconventional casualty – a porpoise stranded by the outgoing tide. While 200 miles to the north another unusual victim of the British tides, a teenage wedding guest in suit and tie, is plucked off a fast-disappearing rocky outcrop in the middle of the sea by the Kinghorn crew, and, in Cornwall, the Penlee lifeboat crew receive a dreaded call – a fishing boat, skippered by a fisherman the crew all know, is in flames miles out at sea. Welcome to the official Saving Lives at Sea YouTube channel, featuring dramatic RNLI rescues and real-life emergencies from around the coasts of the UK and Ireland. Using lifeboat and helmet-camera footage, the series captures incredible rescue missions as they unfold - from boats caught in storms to swimmers and paddleboarders swept out to sea.
