Cape Cod and the Islands

Cape Cod, MA Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are calling you for your dream New England yacht charter vacation! The picturesque Cape of Massachusetts is a historic 65 mile long peninsula with endless nooks and crannies to explore. Cruising around Nantucket Island and Martha's Vineyard you will be stunned by scenic New England beauty and fascinated by it’s rich history that spans back to the early 1600’s. There is no better way to enjoy these charming New England locations than from a private sailing or motor yacht.

Martha’s Vineyard

Marthas Vineyard Created from the same ancient glacier as Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard beckons those who appreciate the graces of a time gone by. Sandy dunes, white picket fences, and quaint seaside villages are yours to enjoy whilst on your dream New England yacht vacation.

Nestled 7 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard is chock full of quaint villages, history, and pristine natural vistas.

Nantucket Island

Given its name by the Native Americans who first inhabited the island, Nantucket translates to “the far away island”. Once a booming whaling town, little has changed since the first settlers landed here in the 17th century.

Nantucket Island

Nantucket proudly sits 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod.

Nantucket has the distinction of the entire island being designated an historical district. This lets you become totally immersed in days gone by, with cobblestones, white picket fences, and cedar cottages adorned with scented flowers. No New England vacation is complete without visiting Nantucket Island at least once.

Preservation has been taken to a high art here, and you will be transported back in time to a place that you thought only existed centuries ago. Say good-bye to stoplights, strip malls, and fast food chains. Say hello to romantic strolls below gas-lit streets, world-class food, and an island that has been designated 50% conservation land. Natural beauty rules on Nantucket.
All her cranberry bogs, moors, and beaches are protected to ensure you that future generations will be just as enchanted as you were on your first yacht charter visit.

Just a few things to do while visiting Nantucket on your private yacht vacation...

Take a bike ride to the beach and gather wild flowers to enjoy on your private cruise
