Red Funnel is bringing back its popular Cowes Week Fireworks Cruises this Summer, offering customers a unique way to experience one of the Island’s most iconic events from the water.
Taking place on Friday 7th August, the three-hour evening cruises will give passengers front-row views of the Cowes Week fireworks display, offering a more relaxed way to enjoy the spectacle away from the Cowes crowds.
As the sun sets over the Solent, guests will sail into the heart of the action, with uninterrupted views of the 21:30 fireworks display from the vessel’s outer decks.
On board, passengers can enjoy live entertainment alongside a range of hot food options, with fully licensed bars serving beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks throughout the evening.
For those looking to make the night extra special, Red Funnel is also offering an upgraded Signature Lounge experience. This includes a welcome drink, a selection of savoury and sweet nibbles, complimentary refreshments and access to a comfortable indoor lounge with panoramic views. Guests will also benefit from exclusive access to a dedicated top deck viewing area for the fireworks.
Lee Hudson, Red Funnel Commercial Director, said:
“We know how much Cowes Week means to the Island. This year, with the regatta marking its 200th anniversary, there’s an even greater sense of occasion. These cruises are one way to be part of it, watching the fireworks from out on the water and away from the crowds. For those looking to make more of the evening, the Signature Lounge offers a VIP experience on board.”
The Southampton sailing departs at 20:30 and returns at approximately 23:00. The East Cowes sailing departs at 20:30 and returns at 23:00.
Tickets are available now, with prices starting from £35 for adults on the East Cowes cruise and £45 from Southampton. Signature Lounge upgrades are also available on both sailings but are selling fast. Limited on-board parking can be booked in advance.
