Cowes Week 2025 – 199 years of one of the oldest and most prestigious sailing regattas in the world. Hundreds of boats, 8,000 competitors and thousands of spectators. The shoreside atmosphere is buzzing, but nothing quite compares to experiencing the action from a boat.
Taking part in the racing is one option, but if that is not what floats your boat (apologies), do still consider going out on the water.
On the water, you are in the heart of it all—close enough to hear the rush of sails catching wind and the calls between crews. The Solent becomes a true spectacle of sails, spinnakers, and strategy.
Whether you are on a RIB, sailing yacht, or powerboat, the perspective offers unmatched photo opportunities and a true sense of the event’s scale. It will give you a feeling of taking part, without any of the pressure.
For anyone visiting during Cowes Week, a day on the water offers the ultimate view of the competition and the culture that makes this event so special.
It is not too late to arrange a charter – we still have Ribs, yachts and powerboats available.
