| In November 1993, following an approach from the Padstow Harbour Commissioners about the need for an inshore lifeboat to cover the River Camel Estuary, the RNLI’s Committee of Management agreed that a D Class inshore lifeboat station would be established at Rock. An inshore lifeboat (ILB) station was established on the northern side of the River Camel and a D Class lifeboat was sent to Rock on 4 March 1994 for a one season evaluation. The station was permanently established as an all year round ILB station from 8 April 1995 and a new D Class lifeboat, D-489, was placed on service on 27 September 1995. A new boathouse was completed in June providing housing for the lifeboat and launching vehicle in 1997 and a new IB1-type D Class, D-634 Rusper, arrived at the station in February 2005.
