Poole Afloat

Details

A highlight in Poole's social events calendar, Poole Afloat encourages people of all ages to enjoy an abundance of water based activity.

The 13^th annual boating and watersports event plays host to exhibitors from the area who will line the beautiful quayside whilst visitors enjoy an on-water experience with the ever popular Try-a-Boat feature in Poole Harbour. With over 30 exhibiting companies and 17 boats on the water, the event is set to be a real crowd pleaser.

Those wanting to have a go and get afloat will be able to experience a variety of on-water activities including stand up paddleboarding, canoeing, sailing, RIB rides and more all inside the marina.

Try-A-Boat* is a very popular attraction, which does not offer pre-booking, so make sure you and your family come down on the day to arrange a time slot to get out on the water.

Each session is £2 and kids go Free!**

You don't need any boating experience, our experts are on hand to help you.

*Try-A-Boat sessions are subject to weather and availability and booked on a first come first served basis. A small fee of £2 is chargeable to those taking part from 16 years upwards.
