What to see on a private yacht charter in New England?
Located on the US east coast, New England is one of America’s most significant historical destinations.

New England yacht charter highlights
Newport
Home to the world-famous America’s Cup regatta, Newport has a rich sailing heritage. Often cited as the gateway to New England, Rhode Island’s Newport is bursting with life, from the city’s rich history to the unbeatable jazz scene and iconic charm making it an ideal place to begin your luxury yacht charter in New England. An afternoon spent in the famous Newport Mansion museums is well recommended – living odes to the glitz and glamour of the Gilded Age.
Martha’s Vineyard
Martha’s Vineyard, Maine and The Hamptons are also destinations synonymous with the best of the luxury yacht life, serving up old world charm with modern twists as well as plenty of natural adventures. Walk along the cliffs of Gay Head in Martha’s Vineyard, and go whale watching on Cape Cod. Spend the day fishing before heading to dine in a fantastic selection of gourmet restaurants, visit boutique art galleries and quaint markets, and kick back on a cafe terrace and watch the world go by. With most of New England’s best destinations within comfortable cruising range of one another, experiencing all the highlights of a New England yacht charter has never been easier.
Nantucket
A New England yacht charter delivers history and culture. Nantucket Island is a national historic district just off Cape Cod in Massachusetts and a must on any New England yacht charter. Established in the 17th century as a whaling community, the island’s quaint villages have stood the test of time. Allow yourself to step back in time as you stroll the cobblestone streets lit by quaint street lamps. In addition to a charming, old-world atmosphere, Nantucket is also home to many of New England’s prettiest beaches and lighthouses. The Nantucket Sounds are perfect for a family beach day, while the isolated Great Point Beach is excellent for a 4X4 adventure.
Maine
Portland is Maine’s largest city and another fantastic cultural spot on a New England yacht charter. Spot the lighthouses dotting the coast along all the way, and head ashore to explore Fort Knox, Maine’s largest historic fort. After a morning of history, head to a beachfront restaurant and dig into fresh lobster or clam chowder – New England’s favourites!
When is the best time for a New England yacht rental?
