Available in 2–8 hour increments, the Champagne Lady lists Marina Bay, Dock R as its departure point.

Private Half Day Sail Charter — classic sailing to the Harbor Islands
This private sailing option is presented as a 4-hour experience that sails out to the Boston Harbor Islands. The operator lists a starting rate of $995 for up to six guests and promotes flexibility: customize the route with your captain, explore further islands, and include swimming where appropriate. The price point and duration position this as an active, sea-kindly option rather than an events-focused charter.
The format suits groups who want to engage with sailing itself — trimming sails, moving around the deck, or stopping to swim — rather than a party atmosphere. The operator materials state the price includes up to six people and encourage guests to plan logistics with the captain when booking to tailor the onboard experience.
