All change for Cowes Week 2017
There are exciting changes taking place at Shepards Wharf Marina for this year’s Cowes Week with a new event partner and the site rebranded as ‘Cowes at Shepards’. We will be open from morning till late providing the go-to venue and one-stop shop for great food and drinks, entertainment and relaxation throughout the regatta.

All boats berthed at Shepards during Cowes Week will be invited to attend a residents’ opening party on Friday, 28th July. There will also be some other exclusive services that boats moored at the Marina will be able to access to make your stay at Shepards as enjoyable as possible… more details to be announced soon!
'Adventure Under Sail' with Ocean Youth Trust South
Sail and powerboat training schools are an important part of the Shepards Wharf community and we encourage training schools to be frequent visitors with our berthing discount scheme.

One of our regular visitors that we always look forward to welcoming at the Marina is Ocean Youth Trust (OYT) South, a charity that offers residential sailing opportunities to young people, taking them to sea in their sail training vessel, the 32-metre Prolific, which this season replaced OYT South’s previous vessel John Laing.

Skipper Andy Viney said: “We visited Shepards on Prolific’s very first voyage - they always make us and the young people very welcome; they make every effort to have a convenient berth for a larger boat, and they are always on hand whenever we need assistance."
