Traveling to Cowes on the Isle of Wight is easy!

For visitors from abroad, the nearest airports are either Eastleigh (Southampton) or Hurn (Bournemouth) but all of the London airports are within easy reach by taxi or train. There is also a heliport (tel. +44(0) 1983 280909) in Cowes especially for the regatta.

There are regular ferries to and from the Island and even during Cowes Week there is no need to book as a foot passenger. However, if you plan to bring a car to the Island, then bookings are essential.
