 The Bluewater Day can help you on your way regardless of whether you already have your dream boat or are still in the dreaming stage. Chat with experts, meet ARC skippers and mingle with other aspiring bluewater cruisers at this informative and relaxed open day. Our experts and skippers will be sharing their knowledge, top-tips and ideas on all things connected with bluewater cruising.

You can step aboard to tour our boats and cats that are ARC and offshore-cruising ready, talk to the owners and see how a bluewater cruiser is set-up to sail; join group discussions; and view boats available for purchase.

Schedule

The day is designed for 'grazing' - you can arrive or depart when you wish. There are boats to see, marine experts to talk with and presentations to attend.
