NBOC Annual UK Summer Rally – Bembridge Harbour

Friday 18th – Sunday 20th June 2027

The NBOC Annual UK Summer Rally is one of the highlights of the NBOC calendar and in 2027 we're heading back to Bembridge Harbour on the Isle of Wight.

Whether you've been visiting Bembridge for years or have never been before, this is a rally with something for everyone. Expect a relaxed weekend afloat, good food, great company and plenty of opportunity to talk about boats. There are also oportunities to explore all in the wonderfully laid-back surroundings of Bembridge Harbour.

Friday evening – NBOC BBQ

We'll get the weekend underway on Friday evening with an NBOC BBQ, giving everyone the chance to catch up with old friends, meet new members and settle into the relaxed atmosphere of the rally.

Saturday evening – our Summer Rally Dinner

Saturday evening will be the more glamorous affair, with a drinks reception followed by a formal three-course dinner at Bembridge Sailing Club. Transport or water taxis will be arranged from the pontoon at Bembridge Marina.

Sunday – AGM

On Sunday morning, we'll hold the NBOC Annual General Meeting, giving members the opportunity to hear about the Club, its activities and plans for the year ahead.

Onward to the East Coast

And then, for those continuing on, the adventure doesn't end there. Following the AGM, members joining the NBOC East Coast Rally will head off together in company for the trip towards Ramsgate, beginning the next stage of the 2027 cruising programme.

Full details of the East Coast Rally can be found on the East Coast Rally events page.

Online bookings for the 2027 NBOC UK Summer Rally will open in January 2027.
