Private 6hour charter to Martha's Vineyard for 4 guestsCoastal cruising with optional striped bass fishing opportunitiesChoice of Unreel or Elite boats with expert guidance
Nothing beats a private day on the water around Martha's Vineyard, and this 6-hour charter gives your group the perfect taste of what makes these waters so special. You'll cruise aboard either the Unreel or Elite – both top-rated vessels that know these coastal waters like the back of their hand. With space for up to 4 guests (though we can work with you on larger groups), this trip lets you call the shots. Want to focus on cruising the scenic coastline? We've got you covered. Feeling like dropping a line for some striped bass action? That works too. The beauty of a private charter is that it's your day, your way.
Your captain knows every inlet, harbor, and prime spot around the Vineyard, so you're getting genuine local expertise from the moment you step aboard. The boats are built for comfort and speed – you'll cover serious ground without sacrificing the smooth ride that makes coastal cruising so enjoyable. Martha's Vineyard's waters offer some of the most stunning scenery on the East Coast, from the dramatic cliffs of Aquinnah to the charming harbors of Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. You might spot seals lounging on sandbars, osprey diving for fish, or even the occasional whale passing through during migration season. The flexible itinerary means you can spend more time at spots that catch your eye, whether that's a secluded cove perfect for swimming or a fishing ground where the action is hot.
Both the Unreel and Elite are designed for the kind of versatility that makes Martha's Vineyard charters so popular. These aren't massive party boats – they're nimble, well-maintained vessels that can get you into the spots where bigger boats can't go. The captain will adjust the day based on weather, your group's interests, and what's happening on the water. If you're leaning toward the fishing side, the boats come equipped with quality gear, though many guests enjoy the hybrid approach – a little cruising, a little fishing, and plenty of time to soak up the coastal atmosphere. Important note: if you're interested in the Elite specifically, give us a call to check availability since booking can vary.
While this charter caters to cruising enthusiasts, it's worth knowing about the striped bass that make Martha's Vineyard waters famous among anglers. These fish are absolute powerhouses, often running 20 to 40 pounds around the Vineyard, with trophy fish pushing even bigger numbers. Stripers are most active during the spring and fall migrations, but summer fishing can be world-class too, especially around dawn and dusk. What makes them so exciting is their fight – they'll make blistering runs and test your skills right up to the boat. The waters around Martha's Vineyard offer perfect striped bass habitat with rocky structure, current breaks, and baitfish schools. Even if fishing isn't your main focus, seeing these silver-sided beauties cruise through the clear Vineyard waters adds to the whole coastal experience.
A private 6-hour charter around Martha's Vineyard delivers exactly what makes this area a customer favorite – stunning scenery, flexible options, and the kind of personalized experience you can't get on larger group trips. Whether your crew wants to focus on the cruising experience, try their hand at some fishing, or mix both throughout the day, you're getting a captain who knows how to make it happen. The combination of comfort, local knowledge, and prime location makes this a best trip choice for groups looking to experience the real Martha's Vineyard from the water. Don't wait too long to secure your dates – these private charters book up fast, especially during peak season when the weather's perfect and the Vineyard is at its most beautiful.
