With 3,000 NM of coastline from the Bay of Fundy to New York, a yacht charter in North-East America is one of the most exciting yacht charter cruising ground in the world. Go from protected anchorage to quiet moorings with your bareboat charter to discover the stunning natural sceneries.
From quaint fishing villages and wonderful remote islands to sophisticated towns with picturesque buildings, New England has something for everyone.

In one week, you can explore the beautiful towns of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine! If your sailing vacation is more extended, you can travel to New York, moving from port to port in Long Island Sound area.
If you yearn to feel the wind in the sails of your charter yacht, New England's bays will provide thrilling adventures. These waters allow fast passage and easy access for those chartering a motor yacht. Plan charters around one of the many summer festivals, but leave the shoreside crowds behind by escaping to your private catamaran.
You can embark in Newport, Rhode Island, home to classic schooners, 12-meter America's Cup challengers, and mega yachts. The place is the playground of the rich and famous. It is also renowned for its historical landmarks as the mansions of the Vanderbilts and Astors.
From late May to September, a bareboat charter in Cape Cod allows you to travel at your own pace. Whether you are into sportfishing or relax sunset sighting, you decide the program of the day.

In Martha's Vineyard, you can anchor at Edgartown, with its picturesque lighthouse entrance, charming town, and nearby sandy beach.
If you are an experienced sailor who knows how to deal with the tide and current charts, head to Nantucket! Or charter a crewed yacht to pamper yourself.

In southern Connecticut, Fishers Island features several beaches and a yacht club that holds weekly races during the summer.
