Friends, a chapter is turning—and it's time to pass the torch.
After more than two decades of sharing the waters of Martha’s Vineyard with so many of you, I’ve decided to step back from the charter business. It’s been an incredible journey—one filled with calm seas, unforgettable sunsets, and meaningful conversations with guests who became friends.
I’ll still be around the island, and I may still run the occasional trip—but the time has come to pass this special little business on to someone new.
So I’m putting the charter business up for sale—along with the boat itself and a creative side brand I never fully launched. I’m hoping to find the right person (or couple) to carry it forward.
If you or someone you know has dreamed of running a seasonal business on Martha’s Vineyard—something simple, personal, and deeply rooted in the island’s charm—please take a look or share the post below.
Thank you for being part of this ride. I’ll be forever grateful for your trust and your company on the water.
