Newport, Rhode Island

There aren't many things better than New England in summer! Newport is the jewel of New England and is home to some of the best and most famous sailing in the world. Onshore, enjoy Newport's legendary Museum of Yachting, golden sunsets, steaming lobsters, cobblestone streets, miles of beaches and historic mansions.

While you're sailing there's a good chance you'll share Narragansett Bay with a classic Twelve Meter, an Amreica's Cup Boat as they practice, or any of the top racers that call Newport home.

Whether you're learning to sail, joining us for a cruise to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, or polishing your racing skills, Newport is a superb choice.

Key West, Florida

Ernest Hemmingway once said Key West is not so much a location as an experience. The southern-most point in the US, Key West is closer to Havana than Miami, and is more Caribbean than mainland.

Stroll along narrow streets past the homes of pirates, poets, sailors and rum runners. Join the fire eaters, jugglers, magicians, artists and musicians at one of Key West's renowned sunset celebrations. Then dine on the freshest shrimp, conch, fish and lobster.

Key West's tropical winds, warm temperatures and turquoise waters will ensure that your sailing vacation is one to remember.
