With service and excellence at the forefront of everything we do, you can rely on our experienced team to take care of absolutely everything for you. From fun on the water to catering and sightseeing, we will work with you to make sure your one-of-a-kind day exceeds all expectations.

We have three charter options for you, or if you have specific ideas in mind, then we can build the day around you.

Cowes, Isle of Wight

Fish Tales is berthed at Cowes Yacht Haven on the Isle of Wight. Cowes is a destination in itself, but the main advantage is that we are in the middle of the Solent, so you won’t have to travel far before you reach stunning anchorage.
