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.
