Visitors to the Show will again have the opportunity to
experience the thrill of being out on the water with the ever
popular Try-a-Boat feature. So whether you're a bold beginner
or a sailing veteran, choose from a more varied selection of
the latest RIBs, powerboats and yachts to enjoy getting out on the
water for FREE.
To get a feel of what it's like on a RIB watch this video of
Boat Show regulars Sue Strudwick and Steve Swan after their FREE
Try A Boat X600 RIB experience, hitting 25 knots with a 150hp
engine.
The best way to get spectacular views of the Show and to get out
on the water this September is with Try-A-Boat. This attraction is
open to people of all ages (children must be over 8 and accompanied
by an adult) on a first-come-first-served basis.We have a wide
selection of boats (shown below) includes the latest RIBs (Rigid
Inflatable Boats) powerboats and sailing yachts allowing for
everyone to try.
For the first time as part of the 'Try a Boat' experience,
the Artemis Offshore Academy will be running daily 90 minute GO
SOLO sessions between the 13th -22nd of September, aimed at giving
experienced keelboat sailors the chance to give solo sailing a
go.
All the boats are skippered by qualified instructors, who will
provide you with a lifejacket and a short safety briefing before
you head off. Depending on weather and tides each trip can be
between 30 minutes and an hour.
To book your place, head to the Try-A-Boat Booking
Point (stand A140), book a time slot and complete a short
safety form.
