Christeen
For a unique celebration in a magnificent setting, charter Christeen for a private sail with family, friends, or co-workers. Perfect for special anniversary or birthday celebrations, or simply a great get-together! 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, 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!

J/105: Andiamo

The concept behind the J/105 was to produce boats that are fast, strong, fun and easy to sail while racing in One Design fleets or cruising with sails furled and swim ladder swung off the transom.The large cockpit of the J/105 makes it extremely comfortable and the simplicity of the layout makes it manageable for two or three experienced sailors to take the boat on their own in most conditions. Accommodations for an overnight cruise are appropriate for up to four adults with a small galley and sitting area. Andiamo comes equipped with an auxiliary diesel engine and a fresh water holding tank. Give us a call today to reserve the boat for a day or overnight adventure!

If you are interested in chartering a larger keelboat for racing, the J/105 is the most successful one-design keelboat class over 30' in the USA and most specifically on the east coast. With a large and active local fleet (Fleet 6: www.j105.org/fleet6) there is never a shortage of races to attend. Please contact us for special pricing!
