This is a classic boat that is outfitted as a day cruising picnic boat. If you are looking for a well appointed motor yacht to cruise around in style, book a charter on Petrel today. It is an ideal motor yacht for bachelor parties, weddings, picnics, regatta spectator and/or burials at sea. We have a variety of itineraries to make your day on the water the best day ever. Private charters are $375 for a two hour cruise. The maximum number of passengers allowed is 6 people. If you want to sail longer, the rate is $175 for each additional hour; 3 hours is $550, 4 hours is $725 etc. These prices are for the boat charter, all passengers are included in the price. The cost of the trip also includes the captain. Gratuities are not included (an 18-25% tip is the standard rate). If you are limited in mobility, please note that access to the yacht requires that you ride on a launch to our mooring. This will require that you walk down a floating dock, board a water taxi, then transfer from the water taxi to our boat. While there are hand holds to assist you, the motion of the water requires additional strength and balance for you to be able to move from boat to boat.

The trip was perfect. Steve was great host, guide and captain. The communication was great, the boat was the perfect size for our group and the tour into the Bay was amazing. I can't wait to do it again when we're next on the island.
Sailing has been a mainstay in my life since I was shipped off to summer camp in 1972 as a 10 year old boy. Cruising the coast of Maine with my grandfather and fishing Narragansett Bay with my Uncle Bob also cultivated my passion for being on the water. Raising my children, Henry, Trudy and Teddy racing Optis and 420's in Bristol, RI was the highlight of my sailing life. Most of my professional life, I was a high school history teacher and sailing coach. When I retired from teaching, I got my Coast Guard captain's license and I have been sailing charter boats ever since. Its tremendously satisfying sharing my love of sailing and spending quality time on the water with guests on board Hamlet and Petrel. Come spend the day on Buzzards Bay and experience the some of the best sailing New England has to offer.
