New England Sample Itinerary
Day
One: Arrive in Newport, RI and board M/Y Sovereign
at the West Wind Marina. After
getting settled, enjoy lunch underway to Cuttyhunk, a part of the Elizabeth
Island chain. There will be plenty
of time before dinner to explore this quaint fishing village on an island with a
year round population of fewer than 200 people.
Day
Two:
After breakfast we will be under way to
Vineyard Haven on Martha’s Vineyard.
After lunch on board you may choose to hire a car and explore the
exclusive village of Edgartown, take the Intrepid tender over to Oak Bluffs, or
simply bask in the sun on the beach where the film Jaws was filmed.
Day
Three: After breakfast we will cruise to historic
Nantucket Island. This is a
location that deserves at least two days with its world-renowned restaurants,
shopping and beaches. If you are
planning any meals ashore this is the place to do it.
Day
Four: Layover in Nantucket.
Day
Five: After breakfast we will chart a course
for Provincetown, an eclectic resort on the tip of Cape Cod. One could spend an entire day here just
admiring the many examples of architecture in this truly artistic
community.
Day
Six: After breakfast we will be heading for
Marblehead, a harbor steeped in New England Yachting tradition. A walk through the town is the
equivalent of a garden tour as there seems to be a summer long competition among
the locals for the most extravagant flower boxes.
Day
Seven: After breakfast we will make the short hop to
Boston for a visit to Rowe’s Wharf at the head of the harbor and just across the
street from Fauteuil Hall. The sky
is the limit here and a shopping tour of Newbury Street is highly
recommended.
Morning finds us all a bit somber as we
prepare to say bon-voyage to new friends, but eagerly
anticipate our next meeting.
