It's the end of an era for the town's lifesaving vessel, after 29 years of service.
Sunday morning sees the final launch of Filey's all-weather lifeboat.
It's going to be replaced by the 50-mile-per-hour inshore lifeboat, Atlantic 85.

John Ward from the RNLI has a warning for anyone coming along to watch.
John says the new boat will be faster and better-equipped to assist casualties.
