Day 1 - Newport Rhode Island
Embark your luxury crewed motor yacht in Newport - the 'city by the sea'. Newport Rhode Island has a centuries-old tradition of yachting and sailing and is home to classic schooners, 12 meter America's Cup challengers and megayachts. If you can, plan your charter around the time of the legendary Newport Folk or Jazz Festivals - so you an listen to the music as it floats over the walls of Fort Adams while you’re anchored in the harbour. Visit the mansions of the Vanderbilts and Astors and the International Tennis Hall of Fame, the Museum of Yachting. Then enjoy your first evening onboard being pampered with attentive service on your luxury yacht.

Day 2 - Block Island
After breakfast on the deck, begin the day with a cruise through Newport Harbor out to Block Island, just 23 miles off the Rhode Island coast. Block island is funky, eclectic and relaxed. You will find no franchises or fast food outlets on Block Island, instead, you will find well-preserved Victorian houses and understated New England architecture. This is the perfect stop to get to understand the timeless beauty, beaches, and historical seafaring culture that is New England. You can explore the island by bike, as there are several bike rental areas near the harbour.

Day 3 and 4 - Nantucket
From Block Island, cruise to the historic New England whaling island of Nantucket, now the playground of billionaires. Nantucket, covered with dunes, seagrass and weathered cedar-shingled houses, is picturesque, charming and quietly elegant. You can tour the Whaling Museum which chronicles the importance of Nantucket as the capital of the U.S. whaling industry in the 18th and 19th centuries. You might want to take the yacht’s dinghy to take you to explore the inner harbour or over to the Wauwinet Inn for a drink on the veranda. You’ll want to spend two nights in Nantucket as there is so much to do: you can visit the Cranberry Bogs, stroll the cobblestone streets or bike along the sandy beaches. Don’t miss an evening cocktail at the famous Club Car, a Pullman coach which sits at the site of the former train station.

Day 5 - Martha's Vineyard
It’s a short sail from Nantucket to Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard - the storied island just south of the Cape that several presidents, including Kennedy, Clinton, Obama and Roosevelt, as well as celebrities, artists and writers have vacationed on for years. Edgartown is the oldest and wealthiest town on "the Vineyard". Yachts belonging to the rich and famous are moored here during the season, making for an impressive waterfront.
Edgartown has a picturesque lighthouse entrance, charming town and nearby sandy beach. Tour the island, do a little hiking, explore the galleries and shops - the Vineyard has it's own, timeless, decidedly "preppy" culture. The Vineyard beaches are excellent - you can take the "Chappy Ferry" across to Chappaquiddick Island, or you can venture further to Gay Head to see the colourful, sandy cliffs above a perfect sandy beach. There is good fishing for flounder in the Sound so make sure you drop a line. You may also want to play a round of golf at Farm Neck Golf Club, Presidents Clinton and Obama found the time!
