Private yacht with galley and grill
Spend the day aboard the sailing yacht Valkyrie with a captain at the helm; the boat includes a fully functional galley and a gas grill, and the operator provides water and soft drinks while you may bring—or request provisioning of—your own food and drinks.
Choice of vibrant Put In Bay or serene Kelley's Island
The full day allows time to reach and explore Put In Bay’s activity hub or to anchor off Kelley's Island at a beautiful beach cove for a quieter day ashore and swimming.
Ten hours to sail, explore, and relax
A roughly 10‑hour private charter gives you the time to sail between islands, drop anchor in a protected cove, cook aboard or ashore, and build a full‑day memory with a small group.
