Captained Charters & Daily/Seasonal Rentals of Sailboats and Kayaks

We offer captained charters on the Tahiti and the Christeen as well as daily and/or seasonal rentals of Islander 30's, Sunfish, Rhodes 19's, Sonars, Pixels and Kayaks.

Relax and enjoy an intimate sail as your captain takes you and your guests around beautiful Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor in the Christeen, the Tahiti, or an Islander 30. Perhaps you'd just like to take the hassle and committment of owning your own boat and consider paying an hourly fee to rent from a selection of our boats. Or consider paying one flat fee to rent from a selection of boats for the entire season. The choice is yours!


	THE WFC CHARTER & RENTAL FLEET The Christeen For a really unique celebration in a magnificent setting, charter the Christeen for a private sail with family, friends, or co-workers. Perfect for special anniversary or birthday celebrations, or simply a great get-together under sail! The Christeen, a 40-foot gaff rigged sloop, is the oldest oyster sloop in America and a National Historic Landmark. She was originally built in 1883 for Captain William Smith in Glenwood Landing, New York for the purpose of harvesting oysters in Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor. Over her 125 years, the Christeen served not only as an oyster dredge but also as a cargo carrier and live-aboard between Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. Experience beautiful Oyster Bay from the deck of this historic vessel as you lend a hand to the crew or sit back and enjoy the scenery. Pack a simple picnic or have your event catered. Let us help you create a memorable experience! More information on Chartering the Christeen Tahiti ketch 31' The Tahiti is a 30 foot wooden ketch. She was built in the early 1970's by Francis Bladykas, a civil engineer, in his back yard in Oyster Bay and launched in 1974 at the Theodore Roosevelt Park boat ramp. In 2002 Mr. Bladykas donated Tahiti to the WaterFrontCenter. The Tahiti was returned to service in 2007 after a major renovation was completed by the capable boatyard staff at the WaterFront Center.
