Catboat Charters on Vanity

Come Sailing! Make a Reservation for Parties of One to Six. Sailing Times Morning, Afternoon, and Sunset Beginning in June. Call the MVM for Information & Reservations at: She's taking a break!  Sorry, but currently we are not booking charters on the Vanity.

Come sail away on a 1929 Catboat, built here in Edgartown by Manual Swartz Roberts in what is now the Old Sculpin Gallery on the waterfront. Gain a sense of what life sounded and felt like 75 years ago as you coast silently up Edgartown Harbor and Katama Bay on this beautifully restored 20' vessel. Once a work boat used for fishing, scalloping, and summer charters, Vanity now does duty as the Museum's living link to the Island's maritime past. After true Catboat design, she's half as wide as she's long, providing a very stable working and sailing platform. Totally restored in 2000, this chartered boat (with captain) offers guests a relaxing sail.

Normal Cruises are 2 Hours in Length. Picnics are Encouraged Cost is $20.00 per hour per person (two hour minimum). Room for Six or a Quiet Trip for One
