Luxury Sailing and Outdoor Escapes from Little River, New Hampshire

This Full Day Private Charter operates from Ogunquit and is built around an extended day on the water. The operator advertises an 8‑hour schedule (two four‑hour halves available) and a certificate of safety as the only Coast Guard–certified sailing vessel in Perkins Cove. The format is purely private: the boat accommodates up to 12 passengers, and groups are welcome to bring their own food and beverages. The listing is explicit on practicalities—dress for cooler sea temperatures and bring plastic cups for beverages; lobster is not permitted onboard.

On a full-day itinerary the captain will shape the route to best use prevailing winds, which keeps the day dynamic and dependent on conditions. Operators note frequent opportunities to see marine wildlife and, when weather permits, to anchor for a swim. The listing includes a clear full‑day rate of $2,500 for up to 12 people and an availability count; confirm current dates and times on the operator booking page before planning logistics.

The Half Day Private Charter mirrors the full-day offering but condenses the experience into a four‑hour window. The operator lists three common departure blocks across the day and a fixed half‑day rate of $1,250 for up to 12 guests. The same Coast Guard‑certified vessel and emphasis on tailoring the sail to wind direction apply: the captain picks the best route each day to maximize sailing and shoreline scenery.

For travelers who want a coastal outing without committing a full day, this option gives comfortable time for sailing, wildlife watching, and a possible swim if conditions allow. Guests may bring their own provisions; operators recommend dressing in layers for cooler on‑water temperatures. As with the full‑day charter, availability and exact departure times should be confirmed on the operator’s booking page.

Malabar X is presented as an elegant, historic schooner offering private daysails on Salem Sound. The listing highlights a USCG‑certified captain and crew, complimentary soft drinks and bottled water, and optional food and beverage upgrades. Pricing is listed from $950.94 on weekdays with weekend rates higher; the operator notes different pickup options for added fees if you require alternate boarding locations.

The daysail format is highly customizable and geared toward celebrations or small private groups who want the feel of a classic yacht without the bustle of a public cruise. An itinerary outlines briefing and underway time, beverage service, and shoreline viewing; groups should arrive early to secure parking and check in. Confirm pickup details, catering availability, and the operator’s stated cancellation policy on the booking page.

The Private Charter Sunset Sail on Malabar X focuses on a two‑hour, under‑sail experience that showcases islands, lighthouses, and shoreline views while the boat runs quietly under sail. The operator’s itinerary includes a safety briefing, sail‑handling (guest participation welcome), beverage service, and time to take the helm for photos. The listing calls out shipboard storytelling and a knowledgeable crew that enhances the historic‑yacht experience.

Practical notes include free parking at the meeting point (Salem Landing, 10 Blaney St.) and boarding beginning 15 minutes prior to departure. The operator allows full‑bar options for purchase or an open bar for a per‑person hourly rate, plus catering with advance notice. The cancellation policy notes a seven‑day window for a 90% refund; verify current terms on the operator page before booking.

The operator suggests calling to extend trip length if two hours is insufficient, underscoring the customizable nature of these private cruises.

For those planning celebrations, receptions, or an atmospheric evening on the water, the listing’s focus on sunset timing and the classic‑yacht ambiance makes this a natural choice.
