The ever-popular Marina has been expanded for 2025, offering an even greater variety of boats on display. For high-octane thrills, the On The Water stage will return, delivering an even more dynamic lineup of stunt shows and water displays, featuring jaw-dropping jet ski, flyboard and wing foiling performances, all set against the stunning backdrop of the newly improved Show Beach. Back by popular demand, the Try A Boat experience with Flexisail returns, offering visitors the chance to take to the water, completely free of charge, on a range of sailing yachts and motor cruisers. Also returning is Wetwheels, offering thrilling, fully accessible powerboat rides ensuring that everybody, regardless of age or ability can access the water in a safe and exciting way. The vibrant Shipyard zone will once again deliver an unbeatable end-of-summer festival feeling.
