Pontoon Open Weekends are back at Boathouse 4!

Come on down to Boathouse 4 at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, step aboard our fleet of operational vessels, and maybe even take a boat trip!  

Foxtrot 8 will be running 20 minute trips, on both days, around the harbour at £10 per person. F8 is a Mk2 Landing Craft and is fully wheelchair accessible. 

HSL 102 will be taking passengers out for an hour boat trip, on both days, with individual tickets available to purchase at £100 per person.  HSL 102 was one of the very first, fast offshore rescue boats in service with the Royal Air Force, and is the only survivor of the 100 class in the UK. 

MGB 81 will also be taking passengers out for an hour boat trip, on both days, with individual tickets available to purchase at £130 per person. MGB 81 was produced by the British Power Boat Company (BPB) in 1942, in collaboration with the Admiralty. 

Pre-book your spaces to avoid disappointment by emailing Boatbookings@pnbpt.com or book on the day with a Visitor Host.
