Narooma Boats Afloat | Celebrating Traditional Boats

Latest News!

It is with a great deal of regret that I am announcing our world famous and much talked about 2021 Narooma Boats Afloat Festival has been cancelled.

Our recent Annual General Meeting considered the decision carefully having regard to the Covid crisis, the rules governing outdoor events and the need to take a cautious and responsible approach in these difficult times.

On the bright side and if the Covid rules permit, we will be looking at less formal boating adventures throughout the year. I’ll keep you posted on these activities and hope you will keep an eye on the opportunities they provide.

In the meantime, enjoy your own boating activities, touch up the paint work, turn the motor over and keep up the good work shooing those pesky seagulls and other sea birds off your boats.

About Us:

Narooma BoatsAfloat Inc is a group of people with an interest in enjoying and celebrating Traditional Boats in all their varied forms – from clinkers and putt-putts to launches and cruisers and yachts.

In spring every year since 2006 a weekend festival is held on and around the pristine waters and colourful boatsheds of Wagonga Inlet in Narooma on the NSW south coast.

ENTRIES ARE ALWAYS FREE and the Festival is open to any traditional style boat – Putt Putts, Steam, Sail, Rowing and Kayaks.

Each year we provide a relaxed program of boating activities on the crystal clear waters of Wagonga Inlet in scenic Narooma on the NSW South Coast.

This website provides a record of some of the past festivals as well as information for the public and for boaties on any upcoming festival.
