Join Pilgrim of Brixham as she sails down the Devon coast to Plymouth for the annual British Fireworks Championship Cruise.
Your 6-day adventure will start and end in the historic fishing port of Brixham. Brixham is often referred to as the ‘mother of trawling’ as it was at the heart of the development of the sailing trawler and is still England’s most productive fishing port to this day. It is as bustling now as it was then and the harbour is still characterised by quaint colourful fishermen’s cottages and scores of fishing boats.
Sailing out around Berry Head, along the stunning South Devon coast and possibly stopover in Dartmouth or Salcombe. Alternatively, we may anchor off Blackpool or Slapton Sands and have a beach barbecue before sailing into the Plymouth Sound to find our vantage point for the fireworks displays. There will be time for trips ashore and we’ll likely cruise up the River Tamar past the Royal Naval Dockyard and under Brunel’s famous railway bridge.
Fireworks on a boat are a unique sailing experience. You get to see the whole show from your own boat with a berth on-site and you can enjoy it with a lovely group of people. Add in a superb sailing holiday and it’s an unbeatable experience.
Once the shows are over there will be a leisurely sail back to Brixham over three days and will try to check out places we passed on the way down. The scenery is simply stunning and there’s wonderful marine wildlife along the way. A British Fireworks Championship Cruise is a superb way to combine a fabulous sailing holiday with one of the best events in the Devon summer season.
