MVS Poole

We are the Poole Unit of the national charity the Maritime Volunteer Service.

For 32 years, we've been providing training and experience in maritime skills, our primary aim in Poole is to provide assistance to the Harbour Master and other harbour users.

Our Head of Unit Tim taking his Sunday duty at Baiter Park rather seriously. We had just collected the new ‘yards’ in Trevora though so 10/10 for dedication.

Timely reminder that we are part of this and as such receive donations through our membership subscriptions. Fancy giving it a go?

A big thank you from MVS Poole who were delighted to accept the invitation from RNLI Poole hosting their annual Harbour Partners Reception last Tuesday. Representatives from across the Harbour connected, putting faces to names heard on the radios.
If we can help with any training opportunities through the summer, just give us a shout.

As part of our voluntary work in the local community, we also assist Poole Harbour Commissioners by providing manning at the Baiter Slipway, offering advice and guidance about the harbour and dishing out plenty of PHC Harbour Guides.

Say hello to us if you're passing by! 👋

We were delighted to receive an invitation to last weekend's Poole Civic Service at St James' Church Poole to celebrate the local community. Three members from our unit participated - Alan, Miles and Nigel.

Thank you to the Mayor of Poole and BCP Council for inviting us!

We had a great turnout to our Unit's Annual General Meeting on Monday, thanks to all that came.

We were delighted to be joined by guest speaker Captain Rory Smith (retired), last cruising Master of the famous SS Canberra. Captain Smith presented a fascinating talk on his life at sea and how the Merchant Navy changed throughout his career.

Several members were awarded new grades, including David (pictured with Captain Smith) who has been promoted to Senior Coxswain, as well as Louise and Naomi who have been promoted to Crew. Well done guys! 👏

As always, thanks to for hosting us!

The boating season has started, and we've been blessed with the sunshine this Easter! 😎🌞

Our volunteers have been crewing Avocet every day over Easter supporting Poole Harbour Commissioners by providing friendly advice to people visiting our harbour.

If you see us on the water, give us a wave! 👋
