About

UPDATE - The Yachtsman will not be re-opening in 2020, but will be back in 2021.

Located on The Parade, The Yachtsman has an enviable terrace with views over The Solent and beyond. An Idea venue for morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner or maybe a glass of wine or real ale watching the world go by! Island owned by four generations, The Yachtsman offers great hospitality, food and drink. This pub truly is one of the great dining venues in Cowes. With a large terrace and bi-folding doors opening the pub up to the outside world in the summer months this venue is must when visiting Cowes.
