Get Afloat : Somerset

Somerset’s winding rivers, tidal estuaries, and rich maritime heritage have shaped a distinctive and quietly resilient boating community. From the historic docks of Bridgwater and the coastal waters of Burnham‑on‑Sea to the tranquil stretches of the River Parrett and the Somerset Levels, the county supports a diverse network of boatyards, marine engineers, chandlers, moorings, and specialist service providers. Its blend of traditional craftsmanship, inland‑waterway expertise, and coastal capability serves everyone from leisure boaters and paddle‑sport enthusiasts to commercial operators navigating the Bristol Channel.
