All Wales Boat Show

Wales’ biggest boat show moves to Pwllheli in 2015

The All Wales Boat Show 2015 will take place in Pwllheli as one of the first events at Plas Heli, the new Welsh National Sailing Academy and Events Centre.

The 2015 All Wales Boat Show will take place from Friday May 8th to  Sunday May 10th.

Davina Carey-Evans, Managing Director of Wales Watersports International which operates the All Wales Boat Show, said opportunities were now open for sponsors, exhibitors and supporters. Those already onboard include Sunseeker, marine specialists GJW Insurance, Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Wales/Cymru, and international commercial law firm Hill Dickinson.

Davina said “Pwllheli offers an ideal site for a Boat Show with fantastic facilities close to some of this country’s best coastline and sailing waters"

2015 will be a big year for Pwllheli and the Llyn Peninsula with the opening of Plas Heli, the new Welsh National Sailing Academy and Events Centre, which has received an £8.3 million investment from the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government and Gwynedd Council.

Davina added: “Wales has a spectacular, scenic coastline of natural beauty with many safe anchorages, harbours and marinas. The capacity for growth is recognised and if nurtured sensitively will provide excellent potential to stimulate the economies of coastal communities.

“We believe the show can be a big success, and put down a real marker for the huge potential of the marine sector in Wales and the positive impact it can have on our economy as a whole.” The All Wales Boat Show is designed to appeal to local, regional and international visitors.
