Anytime from late June to early September is a great time to book a New England yacht charter. During these times you’ll enjoy mild temperatures and long sunny days. For guests chartering in July and August, the harbours of Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Newport will be in full swing, while September offers a more tranquil experience.

If you’re looking to make your charter truly unique, superyacht charters in New England in late September also give you the chance to experience the beauty of autumn along the coastline of Maine from a completely different perspective.

Combing coastal elegance with practical comfort, your New England vacation wardrobe essentials could include:

• Lightweight cashmere or cotton sweaters for cooler evenings on deck
• Smart-casual options for day excursions or dockside dining
• Swimwear and sun protection for daytime lounging or watersports
• Evening attire for waterfront restaurants or on board entertaining
• A windbreaker or light waterproof jacket, especially if you’re chartering in early or late season

With Burgess, your crew will ensure you have everything you need on board to experience the very best that New England has to offer, whatever the weather.

Absolutely – with Burgess everything from your locations to your activities is tailored to your tastes and pace. Whether you want your private chef to host a lobster-bake in the Hamptons or take a seaplane for an aerial tour, our team will design an itinerary that truly reflects your lifestyle and preferences.

To get started, one of our brokers will ask you questions, like how many people you want to bring aboard, whether you know where you want to go and what you want to do. From sailing to motor, catamaran to explorer – we’ll shortlist yachts of a style, size and capability that match your preferences and suggest bucket-list cruising grounds.

The majority of yachts can cruise with 8-12 guests, depending on their length. For bigger parties, some yachts built to the Passenger Yacht Code (PYC) can carry up to 36 guests – these yachts are usually above 80m (260ft) long. For events, yachts can have more people on board provided they stay in port.

Planning the perfect charter requires specialist knowledge, trusted contacts on board and on the ground, as well as first-hand knowledge of yachts, crews and locations, as well as legal contracts and local regulations to build an experience that suits you perfectly. Another reason to choose a broker is that sometimes there can be unforeseen issues with yachts or destinations and having an experienced broker to protect your interests and build a plan B is hugely reassuring. 

Creating the unforgettable is what we do at Burgess. It’s what our knowledge, experience and passion are all about. We take all the hassle out of the planning so you can just turn up and have the best holiday ever.
