The UK's largest & most prestigious sailing regatta

Taking place in 2025 from 2 - 8 August, Cowes Week is one of the UK's biggest and longest-running regattas in the world, offering seven days of high calibre competition. With all sailing abilities welcome and more than 40 races taking place daily throughout Cowes Week, it’s a great time to take your passion for sailing to another level.

After the success of 2024, we are delighted to announce that our 2025 VIP hospitality area for our daily après sail drinks and prize giving will, once again, be hosted at the exclusive, private members sailing club - the Island Sailing Club (ISC). The ISC is ideally situated in the heart of Cowes, in close proximity to Cowes Yacht Haven and the Red Jet ferry service in West Cowes. 

We are also delighted to announce that Prometheus Sailing has been appointed as the Official Charter Supplier for Cowes Week 2025.
