What the Two-Hour Sail Feels Like

The short, private two-hour sail is designed to be effortless: you board a cozy sailboat, the crew sets the course along the inlet and waterfront, and the town’s monuments—fortress, bridge, lighthouse—pass into view as the sky shifts toward evening. The focus is on sightlines and the sensory contrast of warm light, sea breeze and the steady motion of sail.
