With Easter officially marking the start of cruising season, here's a date for the diary
A new family-friendly motorboating event will be held this summer celebrating all things power and if you book before the end of May you’ll get a 10% discount.
The Big Splash will be held at Cowes Yacht Haven on the Isle of Wight between 13-15 August.
Sealine is the main sponsor of the weekend, along with MBM, Raymarine and Volvo Penta.
The three-day extravaganza promises something for all the family, with tuition on navigation, cookery demonstrations, circus classes and a Caribbean barbecue party, complete with steel band.
The event will culminate in a Mardi Gras masked black tie ball on the Saturday night, followed by a traditional Full English breakfast the following morning.
Tickets cost £160 for boats under 40ft; £190 for boats between 40ft and 50ft and £225 for boats longer than 51ft. Ticket price includes two nights berthing in the marina, plus access to event activities but you will need to buy separate tickets for meals.
