New England is most popular in July and August when the seaside towns and cities come alive with culture and all the best lobster bars are open for business. The area is big enough to escape the crowds on your yacht but the crowds make for a vibrant and bustling holiday that will have you dreaming of returning the following year.
New England is best experienced by sailing yacht, with countless coves and stunning harbours that motorboats simply can’t reach. A week of sailing on an Oyster offers an unmatched on-the-water vacation, in comfort and privacy with a knowledgeable crew who will guide you through the area and cater to your every desire. It is the perfect place to enjoy watersports – snorkelling and diving, water skiing and boarding, as well as surfing.
Start by taking a walking tour of Newport’s Old Quarter and view the magnificent mansions in the Bellevue Avenue Historic District – it’s not hard to imagine how life was here in the past. If you are a surfer, you will want to catch some waves at Easton's Beach before enjoying a relaxed BBQ on its golden sands. If you are an art lover, you are in for a treat – Newport is home to over 30 private art galleries offering everything from contemporary artworks to more traditional ones. Whatever your taste, there is something for everyone.
