Overview
Booking
We take bookings from our pink marquee on Trinity Landing every day during the regatta from 0900-1630hrs starting on Saturday 1st August 2026. An advanced bookings line number will be made available on this website from 13th July 2026 (please do not call the main office number as we are not able to take bookings from this number). Please note that once a booking is made it cannot be moved or cancelled so please only book if you are certain that you will attend.
When is the event?
Our Ribs will operate from Saturday 1st August – Friday 7th August 2026 departing at 1000, 1100, 1200, 1330, 1430 and 1530hrs daily. Please note that you will need to be with us 15 minutes prior to your trip.
What to expect
After a safety briefing, we depart to watch the various classes racing with high speed blasts to satisfy the thrill seekers! We’ll slow things up for photos (cameras at your own risk) and for a real insight when we track alongside exceptional racing yachts from just a few metres away.
Will I get wet?
Possibly! Although we do supply high quality wet weather gear along with life jackets. Only bring afloat items that have waterproof cases or things that you don’t mind getting wet with salt water.
Prices
Prices are £39 per adult and £27 for children aged 16 and under. On Family Day (Sunday 3rd August) the price for a Family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children aged 16 and under) will be at a special rate of £110. At all other times, a special family ticket price for families of 4 is available for £120.
Private group?
Contact us for exclusive Rib use and for shore side hospitality options using our exclusive VIP Hospitality Marquee. Chartering the whole Rib will ensure that you get to see exactly what you want to and can start and finish from Cowes, Lymington, Hamble, Southampton or Portsmouth.
Safety?
Ribs are not suitable for those with any muscular skeletal problems or other conditions likely to be made worse by shock forces. We also are unable to provide this activity to those that may be pregnant, have mobility problems, or who have consumed drugs or alcohol. The Ribs have jockey style seats that are close together so social distancing is not possible. Please do not attend if you have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 10 days, have symptoms or have been notified to self isolate.
