In its bicentenary year, you can expect Cowes Week to stay true to its ethos of world-class regatta racing – even more exciting and special for visitors.

I’m a former sailing crew member, an experienced tour guide, and a lifelong sailing enthusiast — proudly a bit of a sailing-events geek. Life on and around the water has shaped who I am, and major regattas like Cowes Week feel as natural to me as home.

This is my favourite sailing event in UK Cowes Week isn’t just about the racing — it’s also the perfect time to get around the Isle of Wight, sharing the places and stories that make this island so special.

I take official tour visits each year with a fantastic people from around the world.

If you dream about Cowes – this is time! A seven-day sailing regatta taking place on the stunning Solent area on the south coast. 

Why not to visit Cowes this summer – admire a Parade of Sail and special anniversary races, including a Bicentenary Gold Cup, as the Solent fills with colour, competition and historic celebration.
