get out on the water for free at poole afloat
The spirit of life on the sea can be felt and experienced by all
on Saturday 19th June at one of the largest, free,
annual boating and watersports events, Poole Afloat, held on Poole
Quay. There are over 20 boats including RIBs, motorboats and
sailing yachts for people of all ages to try with family and
friends.
In 2009, Poole Afloat saw 600 people get on the water with the
scenic views of Brownsea Island and the harbour taken in by
all.
This year’s Poole Afloat is held in association with http://www.onthewater.co.uk/ ‘ a
resourceful guide featuring boating events in the UK, advice, and
tips on every aspect of boating from boat hire, training and
holidays to buying a boat and resources.
Poole Afloat has come to be known as one of the summers must see
events with the thrill and excitement of getting out on the water,
all day live entertainment and all the latest in marine equipment,
training and advice from some of the industry’s leading
professionals.
In its eleventh year of running on Poole Quay, Poole Afloat is for
the third successive year being held alongside the Harry Paye
Charity Fun Day. The Harry Paye pirates will march along the quay
celebrating the memory of the legendary pirate of Poole, Harry Paye
and will send off the event in true style with a fireworks display.
