Join us for the annual Pembroke River Rally!
Organised by the West Wales Maritime Heritage Society on behalf of Pembroke Town and Pembroke Dock councils, the River Rally is a popular, annual event. It is a rare opportunity to see the barrage gate lowered to allow boats to enter the Castle Pond and, in so doing, maintain the right of navigation up the Pembroke River on behalf of the people of Pembroke.
In previous years, over 50 boats have joined so why not take part this year!
The normal procedure for events is:
- Assemble at Crow Pool and await the arrival of flagship with the Mayor
- Prepare to depart for Pembroke. A safety and rescue craft will direct you to form a convoy in-line astern following the flagship. Once the convoy is formed and underway, you are requests to keep station.
- Arrive at Castle Pond.
- Moorings are available in Castle Pond but please keep clear of the slipway.
- Depart Castle Pond.
Vessels must have a draught below 1.5m to enter Crow Pool.
For all comms, listen to VHF Channel 72.
For 2026
The lead boat will depart Crow Pool at 12:25 making it's way up the Pembroke River arriving at the castle at approximately 13:00.
High tide is 14:35 this year so boats should leave Castle Pond by 15:00.
