Where is the best place to see the Cowes Week Fireworks and where to find the Cowes Week Friday Night Fireworks Cruise and Spectator Boat
The Salamander Cowes Week Friday Night Fireworks Cruise and Spectator Boat is normally found in Berthon Lymington Marina, in the Georgian town of Lymington.
​
Our experience confirms that the normally sheltered patrolled waters just outside the Cowes Breakwater is the best place to see the Fireworks from on board the Salamander Spectator Boat.
​
Salamander normally departs Lymington in the late afternoon in daylight and returns under the stars before midnight.
​
Alternatively bespoke arrangements can be made to meet an exclusive party of up to 12 guests in Lymington, Buckler's Hard on the Beaulieu River, Southampton, the Hamble, Portsmouth and Gosport in Hampshire, Cowes and Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.
​
Departure times can be agreed to suit the evening programme and guests requirements.
​​
Lymington, Yarmouth, Cowes, Hamble, Southampton and Portsmouth are well served by trains and ferries making overland connections for boarding and disembarking Salamander very easy.
​​
Lymington, The New Forest and the Isle of Wight are unique destination venues for some amazing scenery, with luxurious boutique hotels and excellent fine dining providing the perfect backdrop to combine with some wonderful sailing on board Salamander, a traditional yacht with a classically designed teak interior.
​​
Transfers from hotels can be arranged.

“Cowes firework display ”
​
"Spent a wonderful evening with Chris, Sue and Diana on board Salamander. Boarded at 5pm and returned to Lymington at 11pm. Food and drinks flowed, the sun shone and the sail was raised. Plenty of warm clothes and hot drinks on offer on the way back.
Would thoroughly recommend the hospitality offered by this lovely couple.
Just the activity to add to your bucket list !! "
