About

Situated in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, the Classic Boat Museum has been telling visitors its wonderful maritime story since 1996.​

We are based on the banks of the historic Medina River in West Cowes with an impressive collection of over 90 boats, from classic yachts, motorboats, and lifeboats.

We also have a gallery area within the museum of fascinating artifacts telling the story of the marine heritage of the Isle of Wight and the Solent.
