The Classic Boat Festival at London’s largest marina, St Katharine Docks, is set to be the biggest festival the waterside estate has ever seen.
this year’s event will host an impressive line-up of over 50 vessels, making it an absolute must-visit for boat enthusiasts, history aficionados, and families alike.
The 15th edition of this annual nautical spectacle, this free event will see the return of the Dunkirk Little Ships alongside other war heroes, including the Bates Starcraft range and the 20-metre Navy P2000 ship. Larger vessels such as the Thames Sailing Barges, Edith May, and the Adieu will be in situ, in addition to the Whitstable Smack Thistle, which will be displayed alongside the public pontoon.
From elegant sailing yachts to majestic steamboats, this curated collection promises to be a feast for the eyes and a fascinating journey into the heyday of maritime travel.
Back on dry land, numerous activities are offered, from fun activities for kids to nautical-themed workshops and talks from sailing and maritime experts. Food, drink, and shopping will also be available throughout the weekend.
