PHOTOS BY CATEGORY
After about a month, we move photos from the Date folders into individual categories such as Sail, Open Motorboat, Flybridge cruiser etc.
 Sailboats outnumber all other craft, so our site reflects this. Please be aware that we only upload one photo of each boat so contact us for a full portfolio. |
 Catamarans and Trimarans. Here you'll find exciting craft such as the VOLVO ocean racers. We show just one photo of each boat here - email us to see the full portfolio. |
 Sometimes it's difficult to tell who's racing and who's not. These guys are definitely racing... |
 |
 Probably the most dramatic subjects on our site. We show only one photo of each. Please email us for a full portfolio, quoting the registration number. |
 Very few RIBs have a name, so we log them by the make - Avon, Ribtec etc. |
 Cruisers over 21ft in length (See Speedboats too). We only show one photo of each boat, so please conact us for a complete portfolio of any craft shown. |
 By Hardtop, we mean any craft where the driver is principally enclosed under a hard or sliding roof. Contact us to see more photos of a particular boat. |
 Displacement hull craft (as opposed to flybridge cruisers which are planing. We only upload one photo of each. Contact us to have additional photos uploaded (no obligation). |
 These boats have two steering positions - indoors and out! We show just one photo of each craft. Please email us for a full portfolio. |
 |
 This category covers boats around 21ft or shorter, often with outboard engines. We upload one photo of each boat. Contact us to see our full portfolio of your boat. |
 The Merry Fisher is probably the most populr craft in this range. If you see a photo of your boat, contact us and we will upload all the pictures we have taken. for you to view. |
 This category covers virtually anything towed behind a boat! |
 Trying to shoot these from the water is not easy - they're gone in a flash! Hence this is quite a small section. |
 |
 This section covers charter boats, tankers, tugs etc. Please note that we only show one photo of each boat but will have several in our archives. Please email us for details |
 Southampton is visited by most of the major cruise lines at some time duing the year. We show a few of the visitors here. |
 We often take shots not for the sake of the boat, but because it makes an atmospheric scene. We hope you like them. |
 We plan to develop this section of the site extensively in 2009. |
 This portfolio will be greatly enhanced as we tour the country in the spring of 2009. |
 Although we are called Boat photos, we often get good shots of planes, so why not include them? |
 These are some of my favourite shots taken since I started BoatPhotos. |
 Inevitably we come across a nunmber of incidents on our travels and the temptation to take a photo overcomes the feeling of embarrasment for the boat owner concerned. These are a few samples... |

 We met the race boats as we came away from Swanage. |
 This was the start of the Race, captured between Cowes and Yarmouth. |
 Photos will be uploaded during Sunday so please check back if your photo is not yet on the site. |
 After a dull start, the sun came out around lunchtime and that made for some great photos. |
 Here are the photos from today's race. We will be uploading all Saturday and probably early Sunday, so if you don't initially see your photo please try again later. |
 These photos relate only to the SEAWORK exhibition taking place in Southampton over three days. |
 This folder contains mostly photos taken outside Cowes during the RIBEX 2009 demonstrations. |
 We attend Henley every year. If you can't see your photo, please email with the boat name and we'll check our files. |
 On Friday 10th October the QE2 left Southampton on her final transatltic crossing. She was accompanied out by the Queen Mary 2. BoatPhotos were there to capture the moment... |

 These are some photos taken over the Winter of 2006/7, when I crossed the Atlantic with my friend Richard Hildreth in his 45ft ferro-cement yacht, SOCA. We left Motril in Spain in mid November and sailed via Gibralter, Casa Blanca, The Canaries, Cape Verde (including Sal and Boa Vista), across the Atlantic to Fernando De Noronha, then onto Recife in Brazil. We sailed up the coast of Brazil calling in to Suriname and Devil's Island (Pappillon), Tobago, Grenada and finally Trinidad where we were in time to see the Carnival before flying home in mid March. |
 Every year a group of trawlers get together for a race around Torbay. We happened to be in the area in 2006 and took some great photos. |
