The Royal Navy has played an integral role in the annual Barclays Jersey Boat Show since it was first launched in 2008, with a large number of visiting vessels joining the Show over the years.
HMS Tyne
The 2026 Barclays Jersey Boat Show will welcome a major Royal Navy presence, led by the formidable HMS Tyne. HMS Tyne plays a vital role in safeguarding UK waters, supporting search and rescue operations, protecting fisheries and maintaining maritime security.
Her appearance at the Jersey Boat Show will give visitors a rare opportunity to enjoy a tour of this 80m, 1,700 tonne vessel, meet her crew and gain insight into the Navy’s day‑to‑day operations at sea.
