Yachting as a sport, hobby or used as a corporation tool is particular gratifying. There are also unique sailing & powerboat events that make it equally exhilarating and can be something that the whole family are able to go & observe simultaneously. One of the leading weeks of the yachting schedule is the Skandia Cowes Regatta Week; this yachting event takes place once a year and has been running since eighteen twenty-six that makes it the longest running regatta in the world. With more than eight-hundred sailing yachts and seven-thousand contenders contributing, being inspected by more than 90,000 spectators every day Cowes week has earned the name as one of the prime sailing business hospitality and community event of the whole year.

The 8,500 contestants consist of Commonwealth & world class experienced sailors to weekend sailors. Still if you’re not playing a part yourself, watching the yachting, having fun at the get-togethers & live comedians, and to be involved in the unique setting, makes it a one of a sort sailing event.
