Private Sailing Charters on Martha's Vineyard Island: "Just You & Me & The Sea"

Since we began sailing Martha’s Vineyard and sharing our excursions with guests in 2018, we've focused on luxurious exclusivity with our private day sails. Enjoy our topside decks and cockpit; play Captain or Pirate for the day! Our private boat charters Martha's Vineyard style are tailored just for you and only for you and whoever you choose to bring aboard with you (up to a maximum of 6 people.) 

Private Day Sail and Sunset Sail Options

Family enjoying a private day sail with Sail The Vineyard in Vineyard Sound, Martha’s Vineyard.

 Experience the beauty of Martha's Vineyard island on one of our sailing charters and explore the inner harbor of Vineyard Haven.


Our expansive harbor is a sailor's playground. Generally well-protected and calm, this harbor tour is a fantastic way for "first-timers" to sail Martha’s Vineyard. Plus it’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy just enough of an escape from the crowds of land life. Learn about the history of the island and Vineyard Haven with a quick circle through the inner harbor if you like. Relax and bask in the sun or take a more active role and help with the activities of sailing. Offered daily, this is our most popular sail. 


2-hour charters may be scheduled 

any time of day.


2 Hour Charters

Private, Up to 6 People

$675


Our sunset sail is also typically a 2-hour sail.  Visit our sunset sail page for details.


Don't forget the ship's rations! We can cater your sail with gourmet hors d'oeuvre or dessert platters as purchase add-ons for our 2-hour sails.  You'll be able to add them to your cart during the reservations process.

Sometimes you just need a happy medium! For those who feel like a 2-hour Martha's Vineyard sailing charter is too short but 4 just might be too much for unseasoned sea legs, our 3-hour sailing trip takes us beyond the harbor. Venture out into Vineyard Sound with us and enjoy sailing a little more of the Martha's Vineyard island coastline.


3 Hour Sailing Charters

Private, Up to 6 People

$825


If you just live to be on the water like we do, a 2-3 hour Martha's Vineyard boat charter just isn't enough! Hoist the sails with us and let's set sail for far away shores - or at least one outside the harbor. With 4 hours we can sail Martha’s Vineyard Sound; a bit longer and we can make a full day destination sail to the Elizabeth Islands, Lambert’s Cove, Menemsha or other exciting locations.


4 Hour Sailing Charters

Private, Up to 6 People

$1100

We offer longer trips and full-day excursions. Call for details and pricing.

  

Don't forget the ship's rations! Gourmet hors d'oeuvre or dessert platters are just the beginning. Let us pamper you with a fabulous sandwich platter or cater a full picnic aboard. Call for pricing and details. 

*Hors d’oeuvre platters are included on sails of 4+ hours and can be added to your cart for any sail of 2-4 hours..

Watch one of nature’s most glorious scenes as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in breathtaking colors. Our Martha's Vineyard sunset sails are intentionally calm and relaxed, offering the perfect way to sail Martha’s Vineyard at the most beautiful hour of the day.

Step aboard and slow down, sip a glass of wine, and enjoy the quiet magic as the harbor glows in the evening light. Whether you choose a private or public sunset sail, a Martha’s Vineyard sunset sail with us creates an unforgettable experience — far more memorable than a typical night out.
