Round the Island Race 2026 in 4K 🚁 | Spectacular Drone Views from Cowes & St Catherine’s Point

Welcome to WightMedia! Experience one of the world’s largest and most spectacular yacht races from a unique aerial perspective. This video captures highlights from the 2026 Round the Island Race, organised by the Island Sailing Club, with all footage filmed by drone over the beautiful Isle of Wight. We begin early in the morning over Cowes, where hundreds of yachts gather before making their various starts on the famous Royal Yacht Squadron line. Watching the fleet spread across the Solent from above is an incredible sight and really demonstrates the scale of this iconic event. Later in the day we move to St Catherine’s Point, one of the most dramatic sections of the course, where the yachts round the southern tip of the Isle of Wight against a backdrop of rugged coastline, open sea and spectacular scenery. Whether you’re taking part in the race, supporting friends or family, love sailing, or simply enjoy stunning drone footage of the Isle of Wight, we hope you enjoy these aerial views of one of Britain’s greatest sailing events. 📍 Locations featured: ⛵ Cowes ⛵ The Solent ⛵ St Catherine’s Point ⛵ Isle of Wight If you enjoy drone videos showcasing the Isle of Wight, sailing events and coastal scenery, please consider subscribing to WightMedia for more aerial footage throughout the year.
