- “The Vineyard”, as locals call it features three main villages: Vineyard Haven, the tree-shaded artsy little town with quaint galleries, antique shops, and restaurants, Oak Bluffs with its miniature gingerbread Victorian houses, lovingly cared for since the 1880s, and Edgartown the elegant colonial-era town with its stately sea captains’ houses. Shuttle buses on the island run often and take you from place to place. If you’re up for an adventure, take the 45-minute ride to the breathtaking multi-colored clay cliffs at Aquinnah.
- You may want to bring your swimming gear. The Vineyard has some of the best beaches in New England!

Customize your experience with a variety of different options, be it an onboard BBQ, wine and spirits, or gourmet meal, and pick the time of day you want to go cruising.
