In 1993 the building was modified again to take a new boat and the opportunity was taken to modernise the crew facilities and add a gift shop alongside.

[3] Fundraising started in 2021 to modernise the facilities and to enlarge the boat house so that both lifeboats could be launched more quickly.

[4] The stone-built boat house is situated at the western end of the town beyond the harbour where there is access to water at all states of the tide.

The original boat house has been extended with a garage at the back and a fund-raising gift shop on the west side.

If a larger all-weather boat is needed in the area it may come from Ilfracombe or across the Bristol Channel from Barry Dock.
