National marina group, boatfolk, has launched its brand new Summer Cruising Contract for cruising boaters seeking ultimate flexibility this summer.
Boaters are able to join boatfolk for three months at any one of its marinas and get free cruising visitor nights at all 11 marinas across the UK.
boatfolk already offers its annual berth holders 300 free visitor nights across their ten sister marinas, allowing them to explore the UK throughout the year. This new offer, a first for the UK marina industry, gives summer-loving boaters the opportunity to do this for the warmer months without committing to a full year. They can sign up to any of the 11 marinas for the summer and pay no additional visitor fees to explore all marinas in the group.
Michael Prideaux, Managing Director of boatfolk said: "It's the ultimate summer holiday plan, exploring the beautiful UK coastline solo or with family, without the worry of additional fees. We want to make it as easy as possible for people to get on the water and visit all the wonderful locations we have across the UK. With our new Summer Cruising Contract it is our hope that we can give people the opportunity to explore places they have never been, or return to spots they remember fondly."
Visitor nights are subject to availability and cannot exceed more than 30 nights in a single Marina. Berth holders must spend at least 14 days of the cruising contract in their home marina.
Some summer inspiration from boatfolk:
Haslar Marina - home to the iconic Lightship
The Lightship is an iconic floating restaurant in the Solent and the place to be this summer. Visit for à la carte dining, top deck drinks or one of the Lightship's many events happening throughout the summer.
Portland Marina - visit for Portland Week
Head down to Portland from 19th-25th August and get stuck in to all the wonders of Portland Week. Expect live music, mermaids and on-the-water activities for people of all ages, plus plenty of beach cleans and sustainability activities to get involved with.
Conwy Marina - the summer holiday hotspot
This idyllic location really does have it all. Jump aboard and head down the river to Conwy Bay to soak in the beautiful sights by water. Or step on land and the quaint town, stunning mountains of Snowdonia and historic Conwy Castle are bound to keep everyone busy.
Royal Quays Marina - an angler's paradise
Located near Newcastle, Royal Quays Marina is home to a thriving fishing community. With mackerel, coley and haddock waiting to be caught and competitions throughout the summer, this is a must-visit location for keen anglers.
Rhu Marina - your gateway to Scotland
Breath-taking views and relaxed cruising round the West coast of Scotland makes Rhu Marina a top spot for the summer.
