Every year, nearly 1,000 race yachts and crews take to the Solent for up to 40 daily races, delivering an atmosphere that combines fierce competition and après sailing celebrations that promise to go down in history as the biggest and most exciting Cowes week yet.

The Solent is renowned for its fast tides offering tactical, close quarters racing that is thrilling and unforgettable for every guest on board.

Off the water, Cowes comes alive with exclusive parties, live music festival vibes, gourmet dining, and vibrant social events from the 1826 music stage with headline acts to the yacht club balls and social events.

For corporate clients looking for an experience beyond the ordinary, Cowes week offers a unique platform to entertain, reward and connect that far surpasses a traditional day at the races, tennis or golf!
