New England

New England’s colourful hues and quaint, stately towns provide charming cruising grounds. Abundant with history and culture, sail alongside pretty pastel clapperboard houses and look out for the autumnal maples flaming gold and red along this most historic and scenic of coastlines.

Mingle with the yachting crowd in Newport, the yachting capital of the world and long-time home of the America’s Cup, before cruising through the stylish holiday islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket to the 17th century college town of Boston.
