Wick Lifeboat Station is located at the harbour town and royal burgh of Wick, Highland, in the NE corner of Scotland, in the historic county of Caithness.

A lifeboat was first stationed here by the British Fisheries Society[1] in 1848. It was taken over by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1895.[2]

Since 1997, the station has operated a Trent-class All-weather lifeboat, 14-20 Roy Barker II (ON 1224).[3]
