Thousands of people are expected to flock to Portsoy for the event on June 18 and 19, with boat clubs from Germany, Norway and Sweden already signed up.
This year, organisers of the event are asking for more people to help as the festival returns to in-person for the first time since Covid.
David Urquhart, chairman of the committee, said: “Without the support of volunteers, we simply wouldn’t be able to deliver an event of this scale and quality. They play such an important role.
We need their support with the huge amount of planning involved prior to the festival, but also on the ground, helping with the set up, making sure everything runs smoothly over the weekend and with the clean-up, after the event.”
In return for helping, volunteers will receive free day entry to enjoy the atmosphere and entertainment of the festival.
This year Celtic rockers from Skerryvore will kickstart the event on June 18 at the Big Gig on the Back Green. More acts are lined up over the weekend and renowned premier heritage boats will be on display.
