British Marine Federation

The British Marine Federation is delighted to be supporting National Family Week once again. Having last year launched our ‘On The Water’ website, we fully encourage families to enjoy all that boating has to offer. From sailing the open seas to navigating the UK’s rivers by canoe or canal boat, there really is something to appeal to everyone. The water welcomes visitors from all walks of life, so pop down to your local sailing school, hire boat company or open day to get involved!

The British Marine Federation (BMF) is the trade association for the leisure and small commercial marine industry, representing businesses involved in leisure boating, commercial workboats, superyachts, hire fleets and all the equipment and services needed for those craft.

The BMF has a membership of roughly 1500 companies who operate under best practice methods and represent the width and breadth of this excellent industry.

The BMF’s sister website www.onthewater.co.uk helps those that are new to the water to get involved in boating activities. The site aims to raise the awareness of boating, breaking down the barriers to entry and most importantly, encouraging regular participation in boating.

Visit the On The Water website for more information on how you can get out on the water in cost effective and practical ways, all in your local area!
