Autism on the Water are doing great enabling autistic people and their families the opportunity to experience the fun of going on a motorboat. We’re sure it will be lots of fun!!

Autism on the Water would like to announce that tickets are now available to book for our family sailing trips on the motorboat Therepia during Cowes Classics Week! (7th-12th July)

We are proud to be one of the named charities for the event and so are offering 5 half-day trips over the course of the week to autistic people and their families. Be sure to book quickly as tickets are in high demand and short supply for our Isle of Wight events!

If you are on the other side of the water or you miss the window of opportunity to book tickets for the Cowes Classics Week event, you are in luck! There are also still 24 tickets available at our Open Day in Gosport on 6th July.

Tickets to either event can be booked at the following link:
