Open Morning at Southsea Marina
A special invitation from Premier Marinas this October.
Tickets are now available for the inaugural Plymouth Boat Fest.
Plymouth Boat Fest takes place on Saturday 21st June at Plymouth Yacht Haven. This is a free event celebrating the city’s maritime heritage with activities for boating enthusiasts, families, and those interested in life on the water.
Organiser Steve Cox, Manager of Plymouth Yacht Haven, highlighted the event’s aim to showcase the region’s maritime industry, stating, “The Westcountry has a strong maritime heritage but no dedicated regional show. We want to create a festival that blends community engagement with a showcase of maritime businesses.”
