Nantucket Sound

Day 1: Enjoy a beautiful evening at the docks in the center of downtown Newport located at Christie’s Landing. Walk from the boat to the restaurants on Thames Street which is the central hub for seaside restaurants and nightlife in Newport.

Day 2: Set sail from Newport early morning bound for Menemsha, Martha’s Vineyard, and anchor off the seaside town where the movie Jaws was filmed. This is a quiet lowkey fishing village offering a look into the relaxed culture on Martha’s Vineyard. There is plentiful fresh seafood alongside stunning white sand beaches home to dunes along the waterfront.

Day 3: Make the passage through Vineyard Sound towards the famous island of Nantucket where we spend a night at anchor and explore the historic homes and towns on the island. We’ll enjoy fresh oysters and explore the vibrant and exclusive seaside communities on the island.

Day 4: We’ll sail back to Martha’s Vineyard and spend a day in the main town of Oak Bluff on the island. There are shops and restaurants that line the old seaside town where we will explore and adventure.

Day 5: Sailing west towards mainland, we’ll sail to the quiet island of Cuttyhunk Island which is the outermost island of the Elizabeth Islands. This small island has plenty of adventures with rocky beaches lined with modest summer homes.

Day 6: Sailing back towards Newport, we’ll explore Jamestown on Conacicut Island, the second largest island in Narragansett Bay. This island captures a rustic style with much to explore throughout this sleepy seaside island. There are a variety of restaurants and bars to explore with some fantastic beaches to enjoy as well.
