When is Cowes Week, the Cowes Week Triple Crown and the Fireworks Night?
SATURDAY – 27th JULY to FRIDAY - 2nd AUGUST
​
Since 1826 Cowes Week has played a key part in the British sporting summer calendar and is one of the UK's longest running and most successful sporting events. It now stages up to 40 daily races for around 1,000 boats and is the largest sailing regatta of its kind in the world.
​
The event offers a great mix of competitive sailing and social activities. The 8,500 competitors range from Olympic and world class professionals to weekend sailors. In excess of 100,000 spectators come to watch the sailing, enjoy the parties and live entertainment, and to experience the unique atmosphere. It is genuinely a one-of-a-kind event.
Friday Night Fireworks Cruise has not been available since the fireworks were cancelled.

TESTIMONIAL - WHAT DO THE SALAMANDER SAILING ADVENTURE GUESTS SAY ?
​
"A wonderful day out with great hosts!"
​
"I went out on a day-cruise on the Salamander to watch the J-class boats. We had a wonderful day. The Salamander is roomy and comfortable (even when the weather is not cooperating too much.) The boat is beautifully laid out and exceptionally well-maintained - and for a lubber like me it felt very stable and sturdy.
Chris and Sue are perfect hosts - gracious, funny, invariably cheerful and helpful without being intrusive. Ask them about their round-the-world sailing adventures though - fascinating stories.
I would highly recommend Chris and Sue and the Salamander for any adventure they put their minds to."
