For sure stay in Cowes look up:

The Fountain Hotel is a good place to stay cos just about next door to Ribex

Get yourself to Southampton and take the Red Funnel ferry across to Cowes

Pending where you fly into Luton, Stansted etc

Personally I normally fly into Stansted or Heathrow pickup rent a car and drive south, recommend staying in Cowes, personally I am booked into Fountain again.

Leave the car at Red funnel long term car park.

Plenty of things to to in Cowes as you are among friends so come along and have great time.
