As Plymouth Boat Fest comes to a close for another year, we're taking a moment to reflect on what has become something truly special.
What started as Plymouth Yacht Haven Manager Steve's idea for a small open morning around the marina with a handful of local businesses has grown far beyond anything we imagined. I don't think any of us (especially Steve) expected to see Plymouth Boat Fest welcome more than 60 exhibitors and have over 3,000 visitors
Seeing the marina buzzing with families, boating enthusiasts and industry professionals this weekend has been incredible. The support from our exhibitors, sponsors Haven Knox-Johnston, Plymouth Marine Centre & Marine AI and everyone who attended has been overwhelming.
To everyone who has supported us, thank you. Plymouth Boat Fest is what it is because of you.
Thank you as well for all the kind words, messages and feedback we've received throughout the weekend. Hearing how much you've enjoyed the event makes all the hard work, panic moments and sleepless nights worthwhile.
As we start planning for 2027, we'd love to hear your ideas. What would you like to see next year? More boats, more on-the-water activities, more family entertainment, or something completely different? Let us know in the comments below.
