Carrybridge Lifeboat Station is located on the eastern shore of the River Erne, at Carrybridge, a small village approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) south east of the town of Enniskillen, in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

Previously rescue work on the lough had been covered by the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

[3][4] On 24 May 2001, the RNLI established their first inland lifeboat station at Enniskillen, taking over from Lough Erne Rescue.

The one-year evaluation proved one major point, in that cover was inadequate for both lakes.

The work was carried out by Omagh-based Woodvale Construction, and £60,000 was raised by the local community towards the cost.

[1] After operating six previous Atlantic-class lifeboats over a period of just 15 years, the station would finally receive a new one, funded by the John and Elizabeth Allan Memorial Trust, a charitable organisation set up by their son Dr Patrick Allan.
