King Edward is said to have captured between 14 and 26 of the enemy and it is possible that others were sunk. What his own losses were is not stated but, as his own vessel and the vessel carrying the Black Prince were sunk, and from the peril of "La Salle du Roi", it seems likely that the English fleet suffered heavily. Few, if any, prisoners were taken and dead and wounded Castilians and Flemings were thrown overboard. Much of this action was visible from the English shore, and the clifftops near Winchelsea were lined with spectators, which gave the battle its name.
