Maritime filming at Cowes

Filming at Cowes and on the Isle of Wight

Cowes lives on the water: yacht clubs, regattas, the boatyards of the Medina, and the island businesses that depend on visitors arriving by sea. Cowes Week turns the whole town into a set every August.

What we film here

  • Regattas and race days, on the water and from the air
  • Yacht clubs and sailing schools
  • Boatyards and builders on the Medina
  • Island tourism and hospitality, from the sea
  • Ferry and harbour operators

We bring the camera boat, the skipper, the camera and drone crew, and the permissions. Raw files arrive within 48 hours, or we cut the finished film.

Drones. Cowes is clear of restricted airspace. On race days the waterfront is packed, so flights are planned around the crowds.
