You can sail on a Swan 56 or 48 both with professional skippers aboard. Only $500 for 5 days. call or e-mail 631-423-4988

Annapolis Boat Show

Here are the details about our trip to the Annapolis Boat show this year. Crew will plan to arrive in Huntington NY on Sunday October 4th for departure that afternoon as the tides through New York City dictate departure time. The plan is to sail non-stop and arrive in Annapolis MD by Wednesday night so we will be at the Show opening on Thursday. Crew will depart on Friday October 9th by the end of the day. You are welcome to see the 2nd day of the show on Friday and depart that night.

The route is a fun route through NYC, offshore along the Jersey and Delmar Coast to the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay and then up the bay. We are only offering the trip to the shop this year as we have a group wanting to charter the boat for a few days after the show.

The cost for the trip is $800 for the 5 days plus splitting running costs (food and dockage mostly). Please let me know if you would like to join us and we can make final plans.
