Calling all traditional boats & crews!

The Scottish Traditional Boat Festival is back and we’d love to welcome boats and crews from across Scotland and beyond, to be part of it.

Please come and join us in Portsoy’s 17th century harbour for a weekend celebrating maritime heritage on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June 2026.

The festival is an opportunity to:

  • Showcase your boat and story to over 13,000 visitors
  • Meet fellow boat owners, builders, and enthusiasts
  • Enjoy live music and dance, delicious Scottish food and drink and discover age old crafts.

Whether you’ve attended before or would be joining us for the first time, we’d be delighted to have you.

Boat & crew registration is now open, visit www.stbfportsoy.org/take-part/maritime to sign up.

Please feel free to share with anyone who might be interested and if you have any questions, contact our maritime coordinator Richard Thorne at richard@portsoy.org
