Boating Day on the Inner Moray Firth

11 July 2026

Fifteen young people enjoyed a fantastic day on the Inner Moray Firth as part of our Summer of Sport activities.

The day provided an opportunity for participants to experience both sailing and powerboating, developing their confidence on the water while learning new skills in a safe and enjoyable environment. Favourable conditions allowed everyone plenty of time afloat, with young people taking an active role throughout the sessions.

After the boating activities, the group came ashore for refreshments and a selection of nautical-themed games. The afternoon provided a great opportunity to relax, make new friends and learn more about life on and around the water.

The event was a great success and highlighted the value of giving young people the chance to experience adventure, teamwork and fun through water-based activities. We look forward to welcoming even more young people to future Summer of Sport events.
