Join British Marine South & Isle of Wight at exclusive VIP Rum Regatta Experience During Cowes Week
21 July 2025

British Marine South and Isle of Wight Association is proud to host the British Marine South & Isle of Wight Rum Regatta VIP Balcony Experience—an exclusive evening celebration during the world-renowned Cowes Week.


Set for Thursday, August 7 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the event will take place on a private balcony at Cowes Yacht Haven—offering guests the perfect vantage point to soak in the vibrant sailing atmosphere as the sun sets on the Mount Gay Apres Sail festivities.

This VIP gathering invites attendees to "Set Sail in Style" with:

  • Two complimentary Mount Gay Rum drinks per guest
  • A selection of delicious food
  • Unmatched views of Cowes Week from the exclusive balcony
  • Networking with fellow members and sailing enthusiasts


Getting there is part of the fun: thanks to a special partnership with FlexiSail, guests also have the option to travel from Hamble to Cowes by RIB for a nominal fee—generously subsidised by British Marine South and Isle of Wight. It’s a fast, fun and seamless way to arrive right in the heart of the action.

Spaces are limited and tickets are expected to sell quickly. Early booking is strongly encouraged to avoid missing this unique Cowes Week experience.
