Welcome

Vacation close to home—sail New England!

Windfall, our 49-foot classic sailing vessel, is available for day or overnight sailing charters and "B & B" (Boat and Breakfast).

We dock for the summer season (June–October) in historic Gloucester, MA, in Smith's Cove, within walking distance to the famed artist colony of Rocky Neck. Summer charters are also available out of Boston or any accessible New England port.

When the temperature drops, we head south to the warm waters of the Bahamas. Why not join us for the ride or plan to charter your own sailing vessel for a vacation in the fun and sun at Great Guana Cay, Abaco, Bahamas (February – May). Check out our Bahamas Special

The ketch, Windfall, is owned by Captain Raffi Kassabian. Built by Hinckley Yachts in Southwest Harbor, Maine, she is an elegant, traditionally styled forty-nine foot sailing vessel. A full array of amenities, a spacious center cockpit and private aft cockpit each contribute to an enjoyable and comfortable sail.

Gift certificates are available.
