The Magic of Nantucket by Sea

While Nantucket’s charm is undeniable from land, its true splendor reveals itself from the water. As your private yacht glides away from the bustling harbor, the island’s storied lighthouses—Brant Point, Sankaty Head, and Great Point—stand like sentinels against the horizon. Secluded coves and soft, crescent beaches beckon from the shoreline, accessible only by boat.

From the vibrant summer hum of Nantucket Town to the tranquility of Madaket’s glowing sunsets, your itinerary is yours to design. Whether you’re seeking an indulgent afternoon anchored in a turquoise bay, an extended voyage along the coast, or a sunset celebration complete with champagne and curated cuisine, our charters offer unrivaled flexibility, privacy, and luxury.

A Yacht for Every Occasion

Our diverse and professionally captained fleet includes sleek express cruisers, spacious motor yachts, and elegant dayboats. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering for two or an unforgettable event for family and friends, we have the perfect vessel to suit your needs.

Day Charters
Our half-day and full-day charters are ideal for those looking to immerse themselves in Nantucket’s coastal beauty. Cruise to Tuckernuck for an afternoon of shelling and swimming in crystalline waters. Anchor off Coatue for a beach picnic and paddleboarding. Or venture across the Sound to Martha’s Vineyard, Chatham, or Hyannis for a day of upscale exploration.

Each day charter includes a professional captain and steward, chilled beverages, light snacks, plush towels, and custom amenities upon request. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, engagement, or simply toast to the good life with the Nantucket breeze on your skin.

Sunset Cruises
Few experiences rival a sunset cruise in Nantucket Sound. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting golden light over the rooftops of the town and painting the sea in pastel hues, our yachts provide the ideal setting for a romantic evening or unforgettable cocktail hour. With onboard hors d’oeuvres, fine wine, and attentive service, this is where elegance meets serenity.

Multi-Day Excursions
For the ultimate luxury experience, our multi-day charters offer the freedom to explore New England’s coastal gems at your own pace. Cruise to the Elizabeth Islands, spend a weekend in Newport, or island-hop from Martha’s Vineyard to Block Island and back. Our yachts are equipped for overnight comfort with lavish staterooms, gourmet galley kitchens, and expansive entertaining spaces.

Imagine waking up on the water with coffee served on the flybridge, enjoying a swim in a hidden harbor before lunch, then arriving at a new port in time for an evening ashore. This is yachting as it should be—personalized, pampered, and entirely yours.

Elevated Experiences, Impeccable Service

At Naples Nantucket Yacht Group, we believe a yacht charter is not just about the vessel, but about the experience. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll be treated to a level of service and attention to detail that reflects our passion for hospitality and dedication to excellence.

Our crew is hand-selected not just for their maritime expertise, but for their warmth, discretion, and commitment to creating unforgettable moments. Whether it’s arranging a custom seafood dinner, setting up paddleboards at your anchorage, or curating a sunset playlist that’s perfectly on point, our team anticipates your needs before you know you have them.

Each yacht is impeccably maintained and outfitted with luxurious amenities—from high-thread-count linens and curated wine selections to Bluetooth sound systems and plush outdoor lounges. Our goal is to make you feel like the yacht is your own private floating resort.

Charter Highlights in & Around Nantucket

Each charter can be customized, but here are a few favorite excursions to inspire your own Nantucket adventure:

1. Tuckernuck Island Escape
Tuckernuck, just west of Nantucket, is the definition of off-the-grid beauty. With no paved roads and very few residents, this island offers pure, untouched serenity. Drop anchor just offshore, take a dip in the warm shallows, and explore the island’s pristine dunes. It’s a favorite for nature lovers and photographers alike.

2. Sunset at Brant Point
Circle Brant Point Lighthouse and cruise into the harbor as the town begins to glow in twilight. Sip a chilled rosé or signature cocktail while your steward serves up fresh oysters and caviar. There’s no better vantage point to take in Nantucket’s quintessential beauty.

3. The Vineyard Loop
For a full-day adventure, cross Nantucket Sound to Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard. Explore its historic whaling captain homes, boutique shops, and gourmet restaurants. A yacht charter turns a simple trip into a grand arrival—dockside in Edgartown Harbor, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a New England postcard.

4. Clamming & Coastal Cuisine
Let us organize a private culinary experience. We’ll cruise to a secluded sandbar, harvest local clams and quahogs, and prepare a fresh coastal feast right aboard your yacht. Add in wine pairings, live acoustic music, or a private chef, and it becomes a celebration of land and sea.
