Nantucket (Massachusetts, US) is a destination that changes with the seasons and the hour, from an inviting snow-covered wonderland in the winter to moody fog-lined shores in the summer that vanish in the midday sun. As such, this island in New England , America is a desirable destination for photographers, artists and nature lovers.

Visitors are never at a loss for what to do in Nantucket because there are numerous events and local attractions in town, as well as the gorgeous beaches to be found in every direction: The north side has plenty of family-friendly options within the tranquil bay, while the outer side has wilder conditions for adrenaline seekers and wind-powered water sports. The island's past as a whaling hub gives holidaymakers the chance to explore another era, whether walking down the streets lined with old-fashioned buildings or absorbing the exhibits in the many museums. Today, the mincke whales, humpbacks and finbacks are only watched by onlookers and left to migrate peacefully through the seas. There are also sea turtles, dolphins and basking sharks in the water, which snorkelers and Scuba divers can see up close as they dive the surrounding wrecks.

Compared to Martha's Vineyard there are far fewer ferries providing access from mainland ports, and when these vessels are booked up months in advance some are unsure how to get to Nantucket. However there is a regional airport for easy flights onto the island, a Nantucket ferry that crosses between the island and Martha's Vineyard during the busy summer months, and luxury yacht charters can commence at an alternative mainland port to avoid any complications whatsoever.

Five quick reasons to visit Nantucket

Long stretches of sandy coastline, Unique luxury boutiques, Great summer entertainments, Captivating maritime history, Stunning scenery

More about this part of the United States

Nantucket, Massachusetts is part of New England, a region popular for luxury yacht charters in the United States due to the plethora of picturesque lighthouses along long stretches of sandy coast and sea conditions ideal for surfing and wind-powered water toys. It also offers fantastic fishing and Scuba diving opportunities, plus plenty of galleries, museums, breweries and trails to fill a week-long itinerary.

Nantucket Island along the eastern coast of the United States of America is a popular summer destination for its long stretches of scenic sandy coastline and rich maritime history: The main settlement is packed with unique luxury shopping opportunities, museums dedicated to Nantucket's past as a whaling hub, and a bustling nightlife after sundown.

Martha's Vineyard to the west and Cape Cod to the north are two other popular spots to include on a luxury yacht charter, providing even more beaches, impressive cliffs and verdant hills for picture-perfect holiday snaps. Cape Cod in particular has a plethora of art galleries for groups looking for contemporary culture and a cherished souvenir. Farther north, the coast of Maine beckons, famous for its lobster and maple syrup as well as the Acadia National Park.

When it comes to water sports, there is endless opportunity to get out toys like jet skis or kayaks to explore along the coast, while guests who want to relax on board have fishing equipment to catch their lunch or dinner straight from the sea. The region is renowned for wrecks and Scuba diving enthusiasts will have hours of fun getting up close to the curious sea life as well as Massachusetts's sunken history.

Nantucket Yacht Charter Experiences

A luxury yacht charter is the perfect way to experience Nantucket Island: You can wake up to stunning sandy beaches in remote locations, or visit the busiest spots and leave before anyone else arrives. Use your Captain's knowledge of the region to go whale watching, Scuba diving or fishing in the bountiful seas, then return to Nantucket for the galleries, museums and shopping close to the waterfront before an evening enjoying the local nightlife or partying back on board your vessel.

Nantucket hosts a Wine & Food Festival at the start of summer, the Nantucket Film Festival takes place at the height of the season and various local events take place throughout the year which can be incorporated into your itinerary based on your group's interests. Watch the 4th of July fireworks surrounded by historic houses down cobblestone streets.

Cruise to Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod at your leisure for even more stunning coastal scenery, picturesque lighthouses and hiking and biking trails for hours exploring in nature. At the end of each day, anchor in a quiet bay to fall asleep to the sounds of nature, and wake up to a freshly prepared breakfast and your water toys ready to go.

Things to Consider:

Yachting Seasons & Climate:

New England is a year-round destination, offering winter sports from December through to February and sunbathing weather from June to December.

The coldest period lasts roughly three months from December through to March, when temperatures can dip to -3°C/26°F and reach a high of 7°C/45°F. November and March are the wettest months with around 3.9 inches of rainfall. In contrast, summer is a warm 18°C/65°F rising to 24°C/75°F and is the driest season.

Sea temperatures reach a high of 21.9°C/69.1°F in June and July, while the lowest temperatures of 2°C/37°F occur between January and March.

Clothing to Pack For Your Charter:

Nantucket has a casual but conservative style in town whereas the dress code is more relaxed on the beaches. Temperatures in the summer are comfortable but can feel on the cool side on windy days and after sundown: It is recommended to take a jumper or windproof layer for the evenings, and visitors might want to change between shorts for the beach and trousers when in town.

For the winter months, guests should layer up and have a waterproof outer layer, particularly when close to the water or heading to the snowy mountains for skiing and other winter sports.

Nantucket Yacht Charters

Nantucket is one of the most exclusive yacht charter destinations in new england.

Nantucket yacht charters are the perfect summer destination to enjoy the island’s laid-back comforts, pristine beaches, and classic New England charm. Whether you prefer quiet shoreside excursions, boutique shopping, or want to explore lively bars in the Historic District, Nantucket is a must-visit destination on any yacht charter in New England.

The island may be best known for its dune-lined beaches. In fact, more than 90 miles of sandy, windswept beaches form a rim around the island. Spend a day soaking up the sun, or taking to one of the island’s legendary beach walks.

Many charterers come too for the quaintness of Nantucket’s Historic District, which is home to classic chowder houses, artisan shops, and live music venues. Plus, there’s much to explore by yacht – from nearby Tuckernuck Island and the Nantucket Sound to Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod.

Nantucket Yacht Charter Highlights

Nantucket Yacht Charters – Things to Do & See

Nantucket yacht charters

  • Explore the Island on Bike

With more than 35 miles of bike trails, Nantucket is best explored via bicycle. A few favorite routes: Take the Madaket Road Path from the historic downtown to Madaket Beach or Eel Point. At Eel Point, you’ll be rewarded with amazing views of Nantucket Sound at the 100-acre preserve, and Madaket is a beautiful dune-backed outpost.

  • See the Nantucket Lighthouses

Nantucket is home to three historic lighthouses, each more beautiful than the last. Great Point Lighthouse is a must-see. Built in 1818, the stately white-stone tower sits in the lush Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Reserve. Sankaty Head Lighthouse is another beauty, which offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic.

  • Miacomet Golf Course

Why not try some golfing while on your yacht charter? Nantucket is home to several public and private golf clubs, but one of the finest is the Miacomet Golf Course. With its lush fairways and fast greens, the course looks like a Scottish links-style course. The course is challenging, yet playable, and there are tee options for all skill levels. Bottom line: If you want to hit the links, head to Miacomet.

  • Take the Sconset Bluff Walk

The Sconset Bluff Walk (or Cliff Walk, as its commonly called) puts on a show of Nantucket’s natural beauty. The path departs from Siasconset, a quaint village, out to Sankaty Head Lighthouse, and hugs the Atlantic coast. It’s known for being lined with cedar-shingled cottages that are covered in roses in the summer months. The walk is leisurely, and the views can’t be missed.

Brant Point Lighthouse Nantucket

Nantucket Brant Point Lighthouse

Twenty-six miles off the coast of Cape Cod , Massachusetts lays the tiny island of Nantucket. Just 3.5 miles by 14 miles in size, the crescent-shaped island offers over 100 miles of pristine sandy beaches. The name Nantucket is said to be derived from the Algonquin Indian name for “Far Away Land” as this island is on the outskirts of Narragansett Bay, with the next stop-England. Always include Nantucket on a yacht charter for true feel of New England historic colonial island life

Nantucket Harbor

Originally a booming whaling port, Nantucket Town has been named a National Historic District with little changed architecturally since the 19th century, as seaside cottages, large Sea Captain homes, and old-fashioned lamps still line its cobblestone streets. Whaling was a major industry on this island in the late 1700’s and most of the 1800’s and financially left an enormous stamp, as both Sea Captains and sailors flocked to this island for the highly dangerous but financially lucrative, (for the lucky), hunt for whales. At the end of the 19th century an increase in size of the whaling ships marked the end of Nantucket as a whaling and financial center, as the larger ships could no longer access the harbor. The industry soon moved to the bigger harbor of nearby New Bedford. With the loss of the whaling business, Nantucket slumped into sleepy island life; building stopped, and the island was left, locked in time, reflective of the golden heyday of the 19th century.

In the harbor, where the great whaling ships once set out on their hazardous journeys to return years later – if at all – today visiting charter yachts in Nantucket, and pleasure boats fill the waters which has one of the finest docking facilities in the world.

Downtown Nantucket

Downtown Nantucket

All There is To See and Enjoy in Nantucket, Massachusetts

Nantucket Town: This is the original whaling town with little changed. Wander the historic cobble stoned streets of downtown, peeking into secret gardens and down the alleyways of yesteryear, where chic shops and boutiques hob nob side by side with excellent restaurants, and cafes. In the 1880’s, even though a tiny island, a railroad was built, in answer to the newly developing tourist industry. While short lived, vestiges of the railway live on in the one lone railway car abandoned near the main harbor that 40 years ago was converted into an island landmark, bar, and eatery, The Club Car. The streets of town are lined with the homes of the whaling wealthy from the 19th century. Look up along the roofs for the iconic widow’s walks, a high perch from which to search for the return of whaling ships into the harbor. The town ringing the harbor is still laid out as it was when whaling ruled this island, with the same cobblestone streets and brick sidewalks, trod on by centuries of sailors.

Downtown Nantucket

The Whaling Museum: Located downtown, this museum is well worth visiting, with excellent displays including the everyday life of whaling men. Take time to visit this museum with its many interactive displays.

Beaches: Enjoy the wide sandy beaches, as beautiful as any in the world. Swim in the still, sparkling waters of Nantucket Sound to the north, or brave the mighty Atlantic along the island’s south shore. Cruise around to the beaches on your charter yacht and be restored by the sand, sun, and clean, salty air.

Inland: On this idyllic “elbow of sand,” the wild moors open to the endless sky, as nearly 40 percent of Nantucket is protected conservation land. Several areas and habitats have natural groups of plants and animals that are now rare to this region and even the world. Go biking or hiking and enjoy this naturally beautiful and protected land where the springtime blossom of daffodils and forsythia give way to summer’s lush flowerings of roses and hydrangeas.

Take in the boutique shops, and explore the art galleries and museums. Wander the village streets where secret gardens can be seen behind white picket fences. Celebrate the island’s cultural offerings including theatrical performances, music, art, film, and literature. Sign up for a guided tour of the island or pick up a picnic lunch, rent a bike, and set off to discover Nantucket for yourself.

Beach picnic

A Sweet Yacht Charter beach picnic may look something like this: 

As the waves gently caress the sandy shores, a group of friends embarks on a memorable beach picnic on a remote island off Nantucket. Their captain has.  chosen this idyllic spot to escape the bustling crowds and immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature.

The island, surrounded by sparkling blue waters, boasts pristine white sands that stretch as far as the eye can see. The friends and crew unload their picnic supplies from the boat and set up their base under the welcoming shade of a majestic beach umbrella. They arrange a comfortable seating area with colorful beach towels and cushions, creating a cozy oasis amidst the stunning scenery.

The centerpiece of their beach picnic is an assortment of mouthwatering lobster rolls and deli wraps. The lobster rolls, a regional specialty, are a delectable treat featuring succulent chunks of fresh lobster meat nestled in a buttery, toasted roll. The friends savor the sweet and delicate flavors of the seafood, enjoying each bite as the ocean breeze lightly tousles their hair.

Accompanying the lobster rolls are an array of deli wraps, generously filled with an assortment of meats, cheeses, and crisp vegetables. These flavorful wraps offer a delightful contrast to the richness of the lobster, providing a satisfying balance of tastes and textures. Each bite is bursting with savory goodness, creating a symphony of flavors on their palates.

To complement their meal, the friends have brought along a cooler filled with refreshing beverages. Ice-cold bottles of sparkling water, lemonade, and iced tea quench their thirst as they bask in the warm sunshine. They raise their glasses, toasting to the beauty of the surroundings and the joy of shared moments with dear friends.

Between bites and sips, the friends engage in lively conversations, laughter, and friendly banter. They reminisce about past adventures, share dreams and aspirations, and celebrate the simple pleasure of being together in this secluded paradise. The carefree atmosphere and the stunning natural backdrop create an ambiance of serenity and bliss.

As the afternoon unfolds, some of the friends venture into the crystalline waters for a refreshing swim. The cool ocean envelops them, washing away any remnants of the outside world, as they dive, splash, and frolic in the gentle waves. Others choose to lounge on the soft sand, basking in the sun’s warm embrace, and simply reveling in the tranquility of the moment.

As the sun begins its descent, casting a warm golden glow across the horizon, the friends gather their belongings and bid farewell to the remote beach or island off Nantucket. Their hearts are filled with cherished memories of this beach picnic, forever etched in their minds as a testament to the beauty of nature, the joy of friendship, and the delectable taste of lobster rolls and deli wraps.

yacht charters nantucket

by Andrew Spencer

The 12-meter class of sailboats traces its history back to the post-World War II era of the America’s Cup, and they were commissioned by some of the country’s most elite patrons, including the Vanderbuilt’s and the Forbes.Two 12-meter sailboats, Columbia and Nefertiti are coming to Nantucket August 8 to 23.

Prior to the war, the J class yachts were used for America’s Cup racing. After the war broke out, America’s Cup racing was temporarily suspended, and many of the boats and their lead keels were melted down for the war effort. In 1958, it was decided to re-start the America’s Cup again. The 12-meter class had been around since the 1920s and was deemed by authorities to be the optimal vessel for competition, given its design and competitive nature.

12 meter yacht charters

Despite their name, these boats are much longer than 12-meters. The boats are constrained by a fairly complex formula that dictates things like length, sail area, and breadth. Given the variety of available permutations that fit within the formula, there are no two 12-meters that are identical. Typically, 12-meters range from about 63 up to 72 feet in length. And for many years, they were the standard-bearer for racing yachts and were the boat in which competitors raced for the America’s Cup, the oldest trophy in international sports.

From 1958 until 1987, any group challenging for the Cup did so in a 12-meter, and the decades saw the creation of some of history’s most beautiful yachts. The first 12-meter to win the America’s Cup was Columbia, a 70-foot beauty designed by legendary yachtsman Olin Stephens and skippered by notorious racecar driver Briggs Cunningham. During the trial series, Columbia eliminated the other three American contenders vying to represent the United States to defend the America’s Cup, and then swept the four-race series against the English challenger Sceptre in 1958 to win the America’s Cup. Incidentally, she also recently won the 2019 12-meter World Championship in Newport, Rhode Island, along with many other regattas, so her racing pedigree continues to impress.

When asked what he loves about sailing a 12-meter, Columbia’s modest owner and Captain Kevin Hegarty responded, “The camaraderie and the ability of putting together a race crew with close friends and family and performing as a team. It is all about the crew work.”

yachts on nantucket

Hegarty has assembled the largest and finest fleet of America’s Cup 12-meters available for charter in the world for corporate team-building regattas, family reunions, or a leisurely scenic cruise. The fleet also includes Nefertiti and American Eagle. Nefertiti was built in Marblehead, Massachusetts in 1962, and designed by legendary sailor Ted Hood for the America’s Cup. She was considered the fastest boat that year. In 2020, Nefertiti was purchased by Jack Klinck and underwent a major refit and restoration, and today looks more beautiful than ever. Wait until you see her! American Eagle, designed and built by Luders in 1964, contended for the America’s Cup and went on to be Ted Turner’s 1979 Fastnet winner and World Ocean Racing Champion. American Eagle was recently purchased by Nantucket summer resident Alexander Valcic.

For those who would relish the chance to get out of the house and go out on one of these amazing boats, your wish has been granted. This summer, Hegarty, the owner of 12-Meter Yacht Charters in Newport, Rhode Island, will be bringing two of these gorgeous yachts to Nantucket. Columbia and Nefertiti will both be available from August 8 until August 22 for half- and full-day charters, and the charters will adhere to all guidelines in regard to coronavirus precautions.

nefertitti yacht

“These boats are iconic,” Hegarty said of the classic 12s. “To my mind, they’re the most elegant sailboats in the world.” Add to that the iconic setting of Nantucket Sound—arguably one of the greatest sailing venues anywhere in the world—and you’ve got the makings for a perfect day.

nantucket picnic boat

And don’t let all the talk about sailboat racing scare you. There’s absolutely no sailing experience required to get out on the water. Kevin and his expert team will tailor your charter to fit your abilities and your desires. Each boat is under the command of a United States Coast Guard-licensed captain, along with two additional trained crew members. So whether you want to be totally hands-off while you lay back and watch the beautiful island sights from the water. Or you want to get involved in the sailing and even take the helm to feel the power of one of these iconic yachts, you’ll be right where you want to be under the watchful eyes of the skilled crew.

yacht charters nantucket

For those who prefer power vessels, Hegarty will also be offering charters on the company’s 40-foot Hinckley Picnic Boat Elegance, yet another iconic water-going craft. The open seating area allows you and your guests to relax while gliding peacefully through the waters around Nantucket. And the Hinckley name is synonymous with luxury, so you are guaranteed comfort and style as you take in the island’s vistas from the water.

Half-day charters run for three hours, from 10 AM –1 PM and 2 – 5 PM, while full-day charters are seven hours.

Sailboats can be chartered individually or as a pair, and charters can be as small as one passenger or as large as twelve per boat. Powerboat charters can accommodate up to six passengers. What’s more, the 12-meter Yacht Charters team will be happy to customize your experience. Challenging the next-door neighbors to a match race or just sliding along lazily as you pass Great Point Light, it’s tough to beat life on the water aboard a 12-meter!

Non-alcoholic drinks will be provided with the charter, and passengers are invited to bring their own food and any other libations they might wish to have aboard. Sailors’ buffs—the nautical answer to a face mask—will also be available on-board as will hand sanitizer, and boats will be fully sanitized by the crew before and after each charter.

“There are few places in the world where you can experience these boats first-hand,” Kevin said of the classic 12s. “And there are few places in the world as beautiful as Nantucket. It’s a perfect match.” Whether you choose to spend your time under power on a Hinckley or under sail on a 12-meter, you’ll experience Nantucket in an entirely new way.

12 meter yacht great point nantucket

12-Meter Yacht Charters offers seasonal charters aboard three classic 12-meters: Columbia, Nefertiti, and American Eagle at Bowen’s & Bannister’s Wharves in Newport, Rhode Island. Charters will be available on Nantucket from August 8 until August 23.

Block Island

Known for excellent cycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, surfing, and beaches, Block Island was named by The Nature Conservancy as one of the twelve sites in the list of “Last Great Places” in the Western Hemisphere.

Approximately 20 percent of the island is set aside for conservation. Visit the Mohegan Bluffs, just walking distance from the Southeast Lighthouse. The bluffs are the site of a pre-colonial battle between the invading Mohegan, and the native Niantic in which the Mohegan were driven off the edge of the tall cliffs to their deaths on the beach below. A long staircase of over one hundred steps leads to the bottom of these clay cliffs and looks out over the Atlantic. A visit to Block Island is not complete without a stop for a bowl of New England Clam Chowder at the National Hotel.

The seaside villages attract year-round visitors to their stunning beaches, gingerbread houses, bountiful recreational activities and unique New England charm. Martha’s Vineyard boasts the oldest working carousel in the country, complete with 22 wooden horses with real horse hair manes. If traveling with kids, you might also consider taking a tour of the Farm Institute, where you’ll see Milk Goats, explore lush vegetable and flower gardens, and see lambs, piglets, and calves. No trip to the Vineyard is complete without stopping for some Murdick’s fudge.

Martha's Vineyard

With class, culture, and undeniable style, the island of Nantucket is located 30 miles out at sea off the coast of southern Cape Cod, Massachusetts. 

Known for its pristine beaches and cobblestone streets lined with historic homes, Nantucket offers a glimpse into yesteryear. Famous for its film and wine festivals and 4th of July fireworks celebrations, Nantucket is one of the most unique, and visually stunning places in the world. Originally a booming whaling port, Nantucket has been named a National Historic District and little has changed architecturally since the 17th century, with seaside cottages and old-fashioned lamps still lining the streets.
