Pontoon Open Weekend – October 25 & 26
Join us for the final Pontoon Open Weekend of the year on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October. This is your last chance this season to see our historic vessels up close on the pontoon — including Motor Gun Boat 81 and High Speed Launch 102 — and to step aboard for an unforgettable trip on the water.
Take a High Speed Launch 102 tour for just £65 per person, or ride on the Landing Craft F8 for £10 per person / £30 per family of four.
On your way, explore even more of Portsmouth’s Historic Quarter: see Pete Codling’s famous hand-drawn sail in Boathouse 4, enjoy FREE exhibitions in the Old Pay Office, Storehouse 9, and upstairs in Boathouse 4 with the SHE_SEES exhibition, plus family activity sheets and food at the Boathouse 4 Kitchen.
Don’t miss this chance to celebrate heritage, art, and history in one unforgettable weekend.
Access to the Pontoon Open Day is FREE, simply ask for a Historic Quarter Pass at the Visitor Centre of Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
Boat trips come at an additional cost and can be booked through emailing boatbookings@portsmouthhq.org
