On The Water is an admission free event that will be held at Cowes Yacht Haven on Friday, 30th May 2014 between 10am and 4.30pm, a perfect half-term holiday experience that ranges from sailing sessions to high-speed RIB rides.

It is part of National Watersports Month that runs throughout May and is supported by a number of leading organisations including the British Marine Federation (BMF), Royal Yachting Association and Go Canoeing.

It aims to highlight the fantastic opportunities for getting afloat and discovering more about boating, for which the Isle of Wight is justly famous.

On The Water starts from 10am and runs through until 4.30pm when there will be a BBQ organised on the quayside. Although there's no charge for admission to Cowes Yacht Haven, some of the experiences will make a charge for the training sessions.
