Shepards Wharf Marina is one of several Isle of Wight sponsors for up-and-coming British sailor Lizzy Foreman, who aims to fulfill her quest for adventure and love of sailing by competing in the prestigious Mini Transat.

 

Whenever Lizzy comes to Cowes, she is assured of a berth for her Mini 6.50 and a warm welcome at Shepards Wharf, with as many cups of tea as necessary to help her race preparations along!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good news - you can now book Visitor Berths in advance, subject to availability, by filling in our Berthing Enquiry form or contacting the office at Shepards Wharf Marina on 01983 297821.

 

When approaching Cowes give us a call on VHF Channel 80 and our friendly Berthing Masters will advise you of your berth. For guidance on getting to the marina, please follow the Directions to Shepards and watch our helpful aerial video showing the approach to Shepards Wharf.

 

 

We would like to introduce you to our new Moorings Adminstrator, Sheryll Smith, who took over from April Cunningham last year and is based at Shepards Wharf Marina. Sheryll works closely with Senior Berthing Master Barry Watkin on Cowes Harbour Moorings allocations as well as Event Moorings, and Marina Berthing for Shepards.

 

Sheryll told us: "There's never a dull moment in my job and a normal day in the office will include everything from welcoming visitors to the marina, helping to organise moorings in the harbour, booking in rallies, getting involved in event berthing arrangements, and doing the washing up!"

 

 

 

Don't miss out - this year Shepards Wharf is offering big discounts on its winter rates for berthing in the marina and you can now berth your boat at Shepards for just £17 per metre per month!

 

However, there is limited availability left - so if you might be interested - enquire today by sending an email or Contact Us direct at Shepards on 01983 297821 and we will be pleased to help you.
