Luxury Private Boat Tours within Reach of Stratham, New Hampshire

The Full Day Private Charter is built around an 8‑hour sailing itinerary that emphasizes time on the water: you’ll sail where the wind performs best, pause to swim when conditions permit, and scan for marine wildlife along the Maine coast. The operator notes this vessel is Coast Guard certified for safety and carries up to 12 guests. Guests are welcome to bring food and drink aboard (the operator requests plastic cups and excludes lobster), and the crew will choose the route for the best sailing performance on the day.

Rate and scheduling details provided by the operator indicate a standard full‑day rate and two block departure windows. This option is the most immersive choice in the collection for groups who want a full‑day sailing experience with a private crew, flexible anchoring for swims, and extended time for coastal exploration.

Large Private Charters offer breadth and scale. The operator lists a 70/90‑foot platform with a full‑service galley, onboard food and beverage service, and configurations that support fishing, whale watching or party cruises. Published rates include full‑day and half‑day fishing charters and four‑hour whale‑watch options; capacity notes extend from small private parties to groups of up to 100 for larger outings.

This is the practical choice when group size, onboard catering and fishing gear are priorities. The operator supplies rods, bait and tackle for many trips and can tailor a route and timing to your group’s goals—whether that’s tournament‑style fishing, a celebratory cruise or an expansive whale‑watch from a stable, serviced vessel.

The Half Day Private Charter condenses the sailing experience into a four‑hour block and accommodates up to 12 guests. The operator runs multiple departure windows and emphasizes sailing where the wind will provide the best performance. Guests may anchor and swim when weather permits, and the vessel is Coast Guard certified for safety. Like the full‑day option, guests are permitted to bring food and beverages aboard, with the same guidance on plastic cups and a lobster exclusion.

This option suits those starting from Stratham who want a premium sailing experience without committing to a full day—ideal for afternoon sails, wildlife spotting or a focused coastal outing with friends and family.

Ash Scatterings at Sea aboard the Nor’easter are arranged as private memorials with room for up to 24 passengers. The operator outlines a ceremony format that allows family and friends to speak, read poems or play music before ashes or a biodegradable urn are released. Basic pricing and a typical one‑and‑a‑half hour service are noted, with additional time available for a fee. The vessel provides restroom facilities and permits alcohol for guests 21 and older; coordinates of the scattering location are provided after the service.

Families can customize the outing to match preferences for timing and ceremony content. This offering is aimed at those who want a quiet, maritime farewell handled by an experienced local crew familiar with the practical and emotional elements of a service at sea.

The Sunset Cruise to Perkins Cove runs four hours and includes a stop so guests can disembark and explore the village—restaurants, shops and the Marginal Way are typical highlights for a short shore visit. The operator limits seating and notes a private charter option for up to 24 people with a set private‑charter price. Guests should check the meet‑time requirements: the operator emphasizes prompt check‑in and will cancel if minimum bookings are not met for public sailings.

This cruise is oriented toward a relaxed, picture‑postcard evening: a timed sail to coincide with sunset, a village interlude, and a return passage under fading light. It’s an accessible choice for families and small groups seeking a curated coastal evening rather than an offshore fishing excursion.

The Gloucester offering can be booked as a sunset cruise or a whale‑watch and is described as a 4‑hour trip suitable for all ages. The operator notes catering options and the ability to provide food and non‑spirits onboard; a customary cash tip for the mate is requested. This option is designed for guests who want marine wildlife viewing from a coastal platform or a relaxed evening sail.

For travelers based in Stratham, this Gloucester departure is an option when your priority is whale sightings or a scenic cruise rather than a private sail. The operator’s seasonal window and service notes make it useful for planning between spring and late fall when whale migrations and calmer seas align with scheduled departures.
