This one is probably only worth visiting if you have an interest in dinghy or yacht sailing. If you do then its a must. Probably good for an hour or so this is an exhibition based mostly around local boatbuilder and designer Uffa Fox and the classes that he designed and sailed. Many of the boats exhibited have been restored within the museum. This is NOT where Airbnb tell you it is, Airbnb have listed the gallery - this is worth a visit but the museum is more interesting. Please see the website for the proper address and opening times which are a bit sporadic. It's pretty much immediately off the floating bridge in West Cowes, look for the big "Hammerhead" crane - its right underneath. There is free car parking and admission fees are low. Its a 30-40 minute drive, I'd go via the floating bridge if I was doing it and avoid Newport.
