River Mersey/Liverpool bay : central to the world heritage - Maritime Mercantile City. Spectacular waterfront , plenty of big ships to see, lots of cultural events( Giants this weekend!) ,rich in aquatic life and great location for cruising to N wales, NW England and even Ireland. That's my view anyway!!

Much of the south west, if that is not too large an area to claim !
Salcombe without too many crowds and some sunshine is extra special, but I like around Falmouth area too with plenty of coves and sandy beaches that you can almost have to yourself. Poole to Weymouth is a stunning stretch of coast by sea too, of course. Dartmouth just lacks the evening sun, but that is true of many of the river towns.

Well that just about the whole of UK waters then - just goes to show what a great pastime we all have

Hello Charlie Alpha you are so right, when we have the weather, where abouts in Andover do you live, we have boat in Ocean Village.

Total no brainer.

It has to be the West coast of Scotland.

From the fleshpots of Tobermoray, through the Sound of Sleat to anchoring off Duart Castle at dusk with a piper playing on the ramparts.

With the summer weather this year there is certainly plenty of opportunity for those with boats to enjoy them.

Do you agree? If not please give your suggestions....

The Dart is OK, but the further west you go the nicer it gets!

For me it's The Scillies...

Agree with Dart, Yealm and Salcombe. All great places to explore.

Reckon I'd add the Tamar to that list. We've been up as far as Calstock - suppose could have got further, but did not have the courage!!
