Cowes Week Hospitality Packages

Throughout the world, Cowes is known as the International home of yacht racing. Cowes Week was established during the late 19th century and is described as the greatest regatta of its kind in the world. The event sees an influx of around 1000 competing yachts together with some 8000 sailors along with thousands of  spectators and the world’s media. Cowes Week is now a must attend event in the social calendar alongside Wimbledon, Ascot and the British Grand Prix.

Cowes Week VIP Hospitality

Experience corporate hospitality at its finest on board your own private luxury sailing boat or motor yacht where you are guaranteed quality contact time with your most valued clients. A relaxed atmosphere in a unique and everchanging environment accompanied by the spectacular and colourful views of the yacht racing will ensure an unforgettable day for you, your clients or staff. The finest food and wines will be served throughout the day by your attentive crew whilst you sit back and relax, or
if you wish, you can take an active part in sailing or crewing your yacht under the expert guidance of your experienced skipper and crew.

You have the option of going ashore during the day to soak up the festival atmosphere of Cowes Week, explore the marina village and enjoy live music and entertainment as the yacht racers return to compare stories over a few beers in the world famous beer tent.

For the more daring we are able to provide high powered RIB’s, capable of speeds in excess of 50mph to take you and your guests on an exhilarating blast around the Solent and get close up to the action of the racing fleet or to go ashore to soak up the party atmosphere of the marina and bustle town of Cowes.

Cowes Week hospitality packages are available by the day or for the entire week.

The Crew

Each yacht or motorboat will have a professional crew of three (dependant on the boat selected) for the duration of the charter. Both skipper and mate will have extensive Solent charter and corporate charter experience. The skipper will hold the Royal Yachting Association Yacht Master qualification with endorsements for commercial charter as required by the Marine & Coastguard Agency. You will also have a dedicated, attentive hostess to look after your guests throughout the charter. Crews are selected for their experience in corporate hospitality charter environments, their level of service and their ability to communicate both professionally and socially with their guests, while maintaining a safe and enjoyable atmosphere on board.

The Boats

We use a number of different types of boat each individually selected to suit your specific requirements and offer the ultimate in VIP hospitality. All are commercially licensed and in excellent condition offering you an exclusive viewing platform for the racing.
