Keeping a boat in salt water means a LOT more maintenance than if it is in dry storage. You need to haul it out at least once a year to scrape and paint the hull.
Looking at that coastline, I'd say there's another reason they're kept out of the water: That's no protected harbor; it looks like an unforgiving coastline and I'll bet it gets pretty tough to keep a boat docked when the weather gets rough. Putting the boat well above the waves and launching it down a railway means it's unaffected by the weather and can be launched in the roughest seas. A life boat you can't use in bad weather is pretty much useless.
