The Motorboat Museum provides a unique opportunity to investigate the exciting world of motorboat racing. At the Museum you can see record breakers and famous boats from around the world. You can trace the history and development of these fascinating craft from early steam launches right up to the latest state of the art offshore power boats.

Imagine what it was like to be James Bond as you view the Fairey Huntress used in the filming of From Russia With Love or what it would be like to drive Miss Britain IV to a world water speed record. You can even have a go at powering your own remote control boat (20p a go).

Whether you are visiting as a school, a family group or an enthusiast the Museum has something to offer. In this section of the website you can find out how to make the most of your visit, download fun, learning resources for children or play games online.
