A new boat show is set to launch in Plymouth, UK, in 2025.
Plymouth Boat Fest will take place Plymouth Yacht Haven on Saturday June 21, with the aim of bringing together maritime enthusiasts, families, and the local community for a day of nautical fun and exploration.
The day is also intended to showcasing the region’s maritime heritage and marine services.
The festival will feature a variety of boats, yachts, new watercraft, and traditional vessels. Attendees will have the opportunity to board the vessels, meet industry experts, and learn about the latest advancements in boat technology and marine services.
The family-oriented event is also designed to entertain children with activities and live demonstrations, live music and water sports displays.
Marina manager Steve Cox, noting that the South West lacked a regional show, despite having a strong workforce and heritage, said: “We want to create a festival that blends community engagement with an impressive showcase of maritime offerings from companies based in and around Britain’s Ocean City, Plymouth.”
The event will be free to attend.
Several exhibitors are already signed up including The Island Trust, Plymouth RNLI Lifeboats, Devon and Cornwall Police Divers, Hemisphere Rigging, The Paddlesport Company and Ancasta Boat Sales.
There will also be autonomous boat vessel demonstrations from Thales and Fugro.
