Meet Katy, Marina Manager at Cowes Yacht Haven 👋

This year marks Katy's 25th year with the team, having first joined as a summer temp while studying at university.

As Marina Manager, Katy oversees everything happening on the water, from looking after our annual berth holders to coordinating arrivals for visiting yachts, rallies and regattas throughout the season.

It's a role that requires plenty of planning, organisation and problem-solving to ensure the marina runs smoothly and remains a welcoming destination for visitors from near and far.

A huge thank you to Katy for her dedication and contribution to Cowes Yacht Haven over the past 25 years. 👏

Hello weekend!🤩

Looking for a last-minute getaway? With berths available at Cowes Yacht Haven, there's still time to escape to the Isle of Wight for a weekend on the water.⛵️

Spend your days exploring the town and your evenings at the Pontoon View Bar with a drink in hand and marina views all around.

The latest National Water Safety Forum WAID data paints a sobering picture.

In 2025, there were 202 accidental drowning deaths across the UK, resulting in over 8,000 years of life lost. The majority occurred inland (57%), with males accounting for 85% of fatalities. Young men aged 20–29 remain the highest-risk group.

Most incidents happened during recreational activities (63%), while nearly a third (32%) occurred during everyday activities.

Tragically, six people lost their lives over the recent Bank Holiday weekend, including five teenagers who entered the water to cool off.

These statistics are a reminder that water can be dangerous, even on warm days.

💙 If you find yourself struggling in the water: FLOAT TO LIVE.
✔ Tilt your head back
✔ Relax and control your breathing
✔ Move your hands and feet gently to stay afloat

💙 If you see someone in trouble:
📞 PHONE emergency services
🗣 FLOAT - encourage them to float on their back
🛟 THROW something that will help them float

Please share these lifesaving messages. One conversation could save a life.

If you need to upgrade your safety equipment please reach out to us - we are here to help 💙

We're proud to be taking part in the LandSeaLot project through our partnership with TransEurope Marinas.🤝

As part of the initiative, we're using a Secchi Disk to monitor water clarity. The data collected helps scientists understand how climate change is affecting phytoplankton, the microscopic organisms that form the foundation of the marine food chain.🌊

The findings are shared as part of a wider network of marinas contributing data to support ongoing marine research.
