Cowes Harbour Shepards Marina

Nice and friendly staff, good pontoons, great facilities and reasonably priced. A stone throw away from shops, shopping, cafés and pubs. Definitely my go-to place whenever I visit Cowes.

Delightful to walk around the harbour looking at all of the boats belonging to the rich and famous. Nothing from the Russian Oligarchs on this occasion.

Having previously stayed I decided to stay over winter. The stay was a five star experience because of the friendly helpfully and knowledgeable staff. The facilities are good and the marina has easy access to the centre of Cowes.

Newly refurbished men's showers - and about time too. Nowhere in shower to put gel/shampoo. Dry area gets wet so long trousers get wet. Only 2 tiny designer hooks, so no good for oilies. And can't choose the temperature or duration of the shower. N improvement, but score 6/10.

The Sugar Store events venue is spacious, light, and has sea views over the Cowes Marina. I had large business meeting with the Chamber of Commerce here, but it would be ideal for weddings and birthdays too.
