It’s not long before the Narooma Boats Afloat Festival gets underway.

The weekend provides an ideal opportunity to catch up with old friends and acquaintances, to share experiences, to compare notes and to show off your hard work restoring and maintaining your treasured traditional boat.

Our welcoming and friendly local boating enthusiasts will ensure you enjoy the weekend on our pristine and now famous waterways.

We will be looking forward to a Covid safe weekend with boating, the outdoors and renewed friendships the winners.

Our social program will be tailored to this, providing great opportunities  to catch up, exchange ideas and tell tall stories over outdoor gourmet delights.

It's time to dust off your boats, get the sandpaper and paint moving and get ready for a bumper festival celebrating all that is good about traditional wooden boats.

Registration details available on our ENTRIES page.
