Final countdown to Plymouth Boat Fest 2026
Plymouth Boat Fest 2026 will bring marine technology, leisure boating and live demonstrations to Mount Batten this June.


The RNLI marks turning 200 this year with the charity’s lifeguards playing a vital role in its lifesaving history since patrols began back in 2001. XTRATUF ® will recognise the role of each of the RNLI’s 1,600 lifeguards who will be keeping beach visitors safe this year with the gift of their Après Fish slider, designed exclusively for the lifeguards in the RNLI’s distinct yellow and red colour palette. The Après Fish slider is a one-piece, lightweight slide made completely of BIO LITE, a low-compression, high-performance EVA foam that delivers superior impact absorption and support.
In addition, XTRATUF ® will be donating £1 per pair of their lifestyle range of products sold to the RNLI as well as sharing vital water safety messages with their customers, advising them to visit a lifeguarded beach if they’re heading to the coast, and providing information on what to do if they are in difficulty in or around the water.
