RNLI Fundraising Wareham Quay to Poole Harbour Cruise
Friday 11 September 2026 | 9:15am (for 9.30 start) – approximately 3:30pm
Starting from Wareham Quay
🚤 Join the Wareham RNLI Fundraising Group for their much-loved annual Poole Harbour Cruise aboard the Purbeck Gem — a wonderful day out combining beautiful scenery, wildlife, good food and great company, while raising vital funds for the RNLI’s lifesaving work.
The cruise begins at Wareham Quay, where we’ll navigate the picturesque River Frome before entering the spectacular waters of Poole Harbour, one of the world’s largest natural harbours and a haven for wildlife.
Our experienced skipper will share their in-depth knowledge of the harbour, pointing out places of interest and giving you the chance to discover more about this beautiful area as you relax and enjoy the journey.
🐟 Fish & Chips at Poole Quay
A delicious lunch stop at Poole Quay is included in your ticket, with fish and chips provided. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available.
There will also be a bar serving drinks, as well as tea and coffee, available to purchase on board throughout the trip.
🌊 Enjoy the views
The Purbeck Gem has an upper deck offering fantastic views, perfect for taking in the scenery and spotting wildlife. There is also a lower deck available should the weather be less than perfect.
Toilets are available on board. Please note that access to the lower deck and toilets is via a flight of relatively steep stairs.
❤️ Supporting the RNLI
Most importantly, all proceeds from this event go towards the RNLI’s lifesaving work.
So come along, enjoy a fantastic day on the water and help support the volunteers who work tirelessly to save lives at sea.
