As a cornerstone of the world-famous regatta for over 50 years, The Duke of York becomes the ultimate high-energy hub during Cowes Week, where the maritime spirit of the Solent spills directly into our historic bar. We are the “post-race” home for crews and spectators alike, known for our legendary atmosphere, hearty sailor-sized meals, and a packed schedule of live entertainment. Whether you’re joining the 500-strong crowd for a late-night party or looking for a vibrant spot to swap racing stories over a cold pint of local ale, the Duke offers an authentic, family-run welcome at the very heart of the Island’s biggest Sailing Regatta.
