There’s nothing better than boating in good company, and sharing experiences on the water and on shore, so why not join us?

About East Cowes Marina

Cowes is often referred to as the hub of the Solent, with its central location, it’s a popular spot for boaters to visit. With several marinas available to choose from in Cowes, we thought we’d show you one that’s nicely tucked a little further up the River Medina. 

East Cowes Marina is popular with berth holders and visitors all year round. You can catch sight of a kingfisher or an oystercatcher and still be a short walk from shops and restaurants. Even better, enjoy a lunch overlooking the marina at the Lifeboat pub.
