Set off from the waterfront at Provincetown for a private half‑day aboard a captained yacht, tracing the town’s harbor, skirting Long Point and pushing into Cape Cod Bay. The Four Hour Sail is a small‑group outing that combines open‑water sailing, sunning on deck and—when conditions allow—the chance to drop anchor at Long Point Beach or Herring Cove Beach for a swim.

THE ROUTE

Harbor, Long Point and Cape Cod Bay

The sail moves from Provincetown’s West End around the Harbor, past Long Point and out into Cape Cod Bay, offering uninterrupted coastal views and open‑water sailing on a private charter.

THE OPTIONS

Anchor and Swim, Time and Weather Permitting

When conditions allow, the crew can anchor off Long Point Beach or Herring Cove Beach to give the group an opportunity to swim—an optional pause during the half‑day cruise.

THE EXPERIENCE

Deluxe Private Captained Charters for Small Groups

Operated by Moment Sailing Adventures—the outer Cape’s private captained day‑charter option—the Four Hour Sail is offered as a private booking for small groups seeking a tailorable half‑day on the water.

What the day feels like

What Four Hours on the Water Feels Like

This is a private half‑day aboard a captained yacht: a measured stretch of sailing along Provincetown’s shoreline with stretches of sun on deck, the motion of the bay and the option—if time and weather allow—to stop for a swim off a sandy point.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this charter fits—and who it doesn’t.

1
Small GroupsDesigned as a private charter, the Four Hour Sail accommodates groups up to six guests, making it ideal for compact parties who want exclusive use of the yacht.
2
Couples and FriendsThe private, half‑day format suits couples or small groups seeking a concentrated sailing outing rather than a large‑group event.
3
Large PartiesNot suitable—this operator limits private sails to a maximum of six guests, so larger gatherings should look elsewhere or book multiple charters.
4
Short‑Window VisitorsThe four‑hour duration (one of the operator’s half‑day options) fits travelers who want a substantive sail without committing a full day.
