Fowey Historic Lifeboat Rally
The Historic Lifeboat Rally is held in Fowey every year. Owners of former RNLI Lifeboats gather in Fowey. many of these boats have remarkable histories and seeing them in the sunshine on a summers day gives no indication of the dramatic and wild seas that these boats gave service without the aid and safety of today's modern vessels.

Fowey Harbour Cornwall and the Bodinnick Ferry
Fowey Cornwall video filmed on a June evening and morning, including the view from the Old Ferry Inn, Bodinnick.
Fowey is one of Cornwall's most attractive ports.
In the summer Fowey is bustling with visitors who can sit and watch the action in the harbour as the ferrys cris cross from nearby Polruan, large ships arrive to pass up river, tugs come and go from moorings, visiting yachts tie up on the moorings and the boat taxi constantly moves around the harbour dropping off and collecting passengers from visit boats.
