About this event


Beat the Summer Crowds and sail with us to the Vineyard, Cuttyhunk, Nantucket & Block Island

Sunday June 15th to Saturday June 21st, 2025

 

Enjoy a cruise through Vineyard and Nantucket Sounds before the summer crowds arrive. The consistent June prevailing winds will fill your sails to each port. Each sail is timed to take advantage of the currents in the sounds. If a weather day forces us to stay in port the currents remain reasonably favorable the next day.
