Board a private charter and glide past Edgartown's storied waterfront — lighthouse, harbour mansions, yacht-lined docks and the wild shores of Chappaquiddick — for the most elegant perspective Martha's Vineyard has to offer.
What to expect
You depart from the dock in a sleek, well-appointed vessel with a knowledgeable local captain as your guide. The red-and-white Edgartown Lighthouse rises from the harbour entrance as you round the point, with grand sea-captain mansions lining the shore behind it. The channel to Chappaquiddick opens up a wilder, reed-fringed landscape — osprey nesting platforms, sandbars and the quiet expanse of Cape Poge Bay. Your captain shares insider stories of the island's whaling heritage and celebrity summer residents throughout.
