About this event

        

2026 marks the 200th year of the Regatta! What better way to mark this anniversary and enjoy an early summers day, than with an outing of exhilarating action on The Solent chasing some of the World's best Yachtsmen and women. Cowes week brings 100's of yachts and sailors of all classes to the Isle of Wight and more importantly to the relatively small area of water that is The Solent. With several daily races Cowes week attracks over 200 yatchs- one of the most iconic dates in the yatching calendar!
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		













































 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		













































Our day will start at around 09:30am (exact timings TBC) where we set sail for Cowes and the main hub of activity. During the day we will visit locations like the Needles and Yarmouth where many of the racing yachts will be seen jostling for position during their races. We expect to return to Southampton at around 4/4:30pm after what is hoped a great day out capturing all the action up close and personal.

Our boat for the day will be a large Catamaran that is perfect for photography with it's large rear deck and top speed of 28knots. Our skipper is an extremely experienced sailor so you are assured of a great safe day in the thick of all the action.
