⚓ A piece of Poole history is about to set sail for the final time.

For over 30 years, Barfleur has been a familiar sight in Poole Harbour, carrying passengers across the Channel and becoming part of the town's maritime story. On 12th October, you can be there to witness her final departure and join the harbour's farewell from the water.

If you're staying with us this autumn, this is a truly unique local experience not to miss. 🚢✨
