A New Year’s Eve to remember in Cowes
Get your favourite people together and see out 2026 with a memorable evening at The Smoking Lobster and a night aboard your own yacht.
If you fancy doing something a little different this New Year’s Eve, join us for an overnight escape from Hamble. Jump onboard our four or five cabin Dufour’s, giving you plenty of room to bring friends or family along and enjoy the celebrations together.
Set sail from Hamble
Your trip begins in Hamble on Thursday 31st December. Collect your yacht and enjoy a New Year’s Eve sail across the Solent to Cowes before the evening’s celebrations ashore.
There’s something special about arriving by boat, especially in great company and when you’ve got a good dinner to look forward to. Once you’re tied up in Cowes, get ready for an evening of celebrations and excellent food.
Dinner at The Smoking Lobster
The Smoking Lobster in Cowes is one of our favourites, known for its exceptional food. This year, the restaurant is offering a special New Year’s Eve menu, making it a lovely reason to sail over and celebrate.
Enjoy the Smoking Lobsters New Year’s Eve menu and raise a glass to 2026 and another for the New Year ahead. Whether you’re bringing a group of friends or celebrating with family, it’s a chance to spend the evening together somewhere a little different and to see in 2027 in the most memorable way.

Start 2027 on the water
Wake up and bring in the new year on Friday 1st January with breakfast aboard before setting sail back to Hamble.
A New Year’s Day sail across the Solent, with your favourite people for company, is a lovely way to begin 2027 and round off your trip.
