Ready to find out which private charter is right for you? Let’s dive in…

Option #1: The Wampum

The Wampum is the perfect choice for small groups of up to 11 passengers. Departing from Children’s Beach Public Pier, this 24-foot Carolina Skiff is typically captained by Max Perkins and Alex Perkins. With a bluetooth stereo and a cooler with complimentary ice, you can bring your own drinks and set up a playlist that’ll have everyone dancing! Catering is also available upon request.

This charter is ideal for birthday parties, small get-togethers, newly engaged couples looking to celebrate with their favorite people, or a group of family and friends looking for a fun Nantucket activity to share together. 

Private charters on the Wampum start at $1,000, but reach out to our team for a customized quote.

Option #2: The Minke

The Minke is the best choice for large groups of up to 23 passengers. Our 26-foot Classic Crosby Launch has a full canopy top, a stereo with USB and bluetooth, and a cooler with complimentary ice. It also has safety netting around all of the railings to provide a worry-free environment for parents of young children — so you can invite friends and family of all ages on board! The Minke departs from Straight Wharf and is primarily captained by John Stobaugh and Max Perkins. Feel free to bring your own drinks, or inquire about our catering options that are also available upon request.

This charter is the perfect fit for team building events, corporate gatherings, pre- or post-wedding celebrations, and even family reunions. Because there’s no better place to spend time together than out on the water!
