Nantucket Yacht Charter
Nantucket yacht charters offer the freedom to experience the destination on your own terms. Each itinerary can be shaped around the way you want to travel, with the flexibility to move between time on the water, moments ashore and the simple pleasure of life on board.

Historic Island Charm
Cobblestone streets radiate out from Nantucket’s harbor past cedar-shingled captains’ houses built during the island’s whaling boom, many still standing much as they did in the early 1800s. The town’s historic district is one of the largest and best preserved of its kind in the country, protected by strict preservation rules that keep new construction in line with the island’s traditional style.

Pristine Beaches
Miles of open coastline ring the island, from the dunes near Great Point in the north to the quieter, current-swept shores of Madaket in the west, each with its own character and its own light. Public beach access is generally good across the island, and many of the quieter stretches can only really be reached comfortably by boat or a long walk, which keeps them from feeling crowded even in high summer.

Maritime Heritage
Nantucket was once the whaling capital of the world, a history the Whaling Museum on Broad Street tells through ship logs, harpoons and the bones of the animals that built the island’s early fortune. The industry’s decline in the mid-1800s, hastened by the discovery of petroleum, left the island’s wealth frozen in place for decades, which is part of why so much of its historic architecture survives today.

Outdoor Activities
Paved bike paths connect town to Sconset and Madaket for an easy ride ashore, while the waters around Great Point reward anglers and the shoals beyond keep local knowledge firmly in demand for anyone under sail. The paths are flat and well maintained, making them a popular way for guests of all ages to see more of the island without needing a car.

Luxury Coastal Lifestyle
Grey-shingled inns, small boutiques and restaurants built into converted captains’ houses give Nantucket a quieter register than the mainland’s resort towns, with Cisco Brewers a favorite stop for an evening after a day on the water. The island’s restaurant scene leans heavily on fresh, local seafood, and reservations at the more popular spots are worth making ahead during the busiest summer weeks.

Nantucket Charter Guide

Everything you need to know before chartering a yacht in Nantucket, from the best time to visit to where to drop anchor.
What is the best time of year to charter around Nantucket?

Late May through October covers the main charter season, with June through September the warmest and busiest months on the island. Guests chartering later in the season should keep an eye on hurricane risk, which rises through August and September, and it’s worth building some flexibility into the schedule for weather.

How do you get to Nantucket?

Fly into Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) directly or via Boston (BOS), or take the ferry from Hyannis, about an hour by high-speed boat or just over two hours on the traditional crossing. Many guests combine a flight with a ferry, arriving on the mainland and taking the boat across for a more scenic approach to the island.

Which anchorages should we plan around?

Nantucket Harbor works well as a base close to town, with Coatue offering shelter just across the harbor and Great Point a quieter overnight option in settled weather. Madaket, on the island’s western end, is another option for guests looking for a change of scenery partway through a longer stay.

How many days should we spend at Nantucket?

Three to five days is typical, enough time for the harbor, a bike ride to Sconset and some flexibility for weather, though many guests extend their stay if they’re also planning to visit nearby Martha’s Vineyard or the Cape. A shorter overnight stop also works well for guests already cruising the wider New England coast and looking to add Nantucket to a longer itinerary.

Are there navigational hazards to know about around Nantucket?

Yes. The Nantucket Shoals extend for miles southeast of the island, a network of shifting sandbars that were once marked by lightships stationed offshore for over a century due to how dangerous they were to shipping. Local pilotage and up-to-date charts matter here more than in most New England harbors, and it’s worth confirming your captain’s familiarity with these waters before finalizing a booking.
