THE VESSEL

Tigress: a historic catboat

The outing takes place aboard Tigress, a classic catboat that shapes the character of the morning—intimate, tactile, and best enjoyed at the gentler pace of a short harbor cruise.

THE HARBOR

Peaceful harbor cruising

The route focuses on Provincetown Harbor—a short, relaxed passage tailored to morning light and fewer boats, emphasizing a tranquil shoreline perspective rather than an open‑sea passage.

THE MOOD

Coffee, light snacks, and quiet hours

Designed for a quieter experience, the sail accommodates light provisions—coffee and small snacks—so guests can linger on deck and enjoy the stillness of the harbor in the morning.
