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