Southern New England Charter Itinerary

Southern New England Itinerary

Southern New England Yacht Charter
New England invented American yachting, and Newport has the receipts ’ the America’s Cup lived here for fifty-three years. The coast that follows is a short one, which suits a week: Vineyard, Nantucket, the Cape, and Boston at the end.





The pleasure here is the density of it. Gilded Age mansions, whaling fortunes, cobbles laid by ballast stones, and a fishing industry that still lands the dinner. The sailing is proper sailing, with fog, tide and a sea breeze that fills in every afternoon like clockwork.





Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read southern New England; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Newport

Newport is a small town with an outsized maritime past, and it wears it plainly ’ the harbour full, Bannister’s Wharf busy, and the Gilded Age mansions strung along the cliff walk. Tour The Breakers if you want to see what the Vanderbilts thought a summer cottage was. Chowder and a dark and stormy afterwards, by the water.

Day 2

Martha’s Vineyard

Cross to the Vineyard, which is larger and quieter than its reputation. Take a bicycle: the island is flat, the lanes are narrow, and Edgartown’s whaling-captain houses look best at a walking pace. Gay Head’s clay cliffs at the western end are worth the ride. Evening in Vineyard Haven, with the ferries done for the day.

Day 3

Nantucket

Nantucket sits thirty miles out to sea and was, for a time, the richest town in America on the strength of whale oil. The cobbles came as ballast; the houses came from the profits. Walk them, then the Whaling Museum, which is very good and does not flinch. Dinner at Brant Point with the harbour lights coming on.

Day 4

Nantucket

A second day for the island’s edges. Cycle out to ’Sconset for the bluff walk, a path that runs between rose-covered cottages and the Atlantic with no fence and no fuss. Empty beaches on the south shore. Then an afternoon sail along the coast, and a sunset cocktail as the harbour turns gold.

Day 5

Provincetown

North to the tip of Cape Cod and Provincetown, which has been an artists’ colony for a century and a fishing port for three. Dunes behind, galleries along Commercial Street, whales feeding on Stellwagen Bank offshore. Lobster on the beach as the sun goes down over the water ’ which, this far out on the hook, it does.

Day 6

Boston

Into Boston, a city that keeps its history underfoot. The Freedom Trail is a red line in the pavement and takes half a day: Revere’s house, the Old North Church, a burying ground with the founders in it. Quincy Market for the noise, Union Oyster House for the oysters ’ it has been serving them since 1826.

Day 7

Boston

A final morning: the USS Constitution, still commissioned and still afloat, her live oak hull the reason the British called her Ironsides. Or Fenway, if the Sox are home and you can get a seat. Then the harbour, the yacht, and a week that ran from the America’s Cup to the Atlantic and back.
