Solent Rescue were established in 1971 initially as a beach rescue unit operated by auxiliary coastguards. Solent Rescue has since then developed into a fully operational lifeboat station, which operates under the direct control of HM Coastguard and is responsible for approximately 33 square miles of the central and western Solent.

Solent Rescue receives no funding from the RNLI, and is operated on donations made from the public.

Solent Rescue are a founding member of the I-Lifeboat UK Website - Independent Lifeboats serving the United Kingdom.
