Boats in the Bay is a community celebration of St Ives’ maritime heritage — recognising the harbour, fishing industry and seafaring traditions that continue to shape our town today.
Working alongside the Jumbo Association, the day will bring together heritage vessels, working fishing boats and local organisations for a shared moment of pride around the harbour. It’s about honouring our past, supporting our present fishing community, and celebrating the strength of St Ives as a working harbour town.



Draft Programme (subject to confirmation)
- Arrival of visiting heritage vessels
- Traditional lugger displays and harbour activity
- Opportunities to meet crews and learn about maritime heritage
- Community and harbour-side activity throughout the day
Further details, timings and additional activity will be announced soon.
Please keep an eye on our social media channels for updates and confirmed programme details. If you would like to get involved please contact us at info@stivesbid.co.uk.
We look forward to bringing the community together for a special day on the harbour.
