The club maintains a website at http://www.stokesbay-sc.co.uk/ where its sailing and watersports activity is set out.

Opening hours are not published on the venue's own site, so timings should be confirmed before travelling. The website remains the primary source for details of the club's boats and rental arrangements.
Visitors reach the Isle of Wight by vehicle ferry from Portsmouth, Lymington and Southampton, or by the faster foot service, and the island's weather is mild, wet and changeable, warmed by the Gulf Stream and frequently windy. That wind is precisely what makes the island's coastal waters such a draw for sailors, and it shapes the sailing calendar around the island's harbours and regattas. English is the everyday language across the island, so arranging a booking or asking about a boat presents no difficulty for most travellers.
