Stonehaven Lifeboat Station is located at Old Pier, in the harbour town of Stonehaven, on the North Sea coast, 14.5 miles (23.3 km) south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. A lifeboat was first stationed at Stonehaven by the Kincardineshire Lifeboat Association. Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1868, operating a lifeboat there until 1934, when the station was closed. The RNLI reopened Stonehaven as an Inshore lifeboat station in 1967, but it was closed in 1984, due to operational inactivity. Stonehaven's Maritime Rescue Institute would provide a rescue service until 2014, when once again, manangement of the station would pass to the RNLI. The station currently operates Jamie Hunter (B-919), a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, on station since 2019.
