When Emily Dickinson wrote, "I think New Englandy," we sense what she means. It has to do with small towns, ingenuity, self-reliance, and rugged individualism.

It's variety, also. New England's identities are many. It's the arty and culturally rejuvenated city of Providence. It's the serenity of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It's the skyscraping granite peaks of New Hampshire's White Mountains. It's the culture and character of Boston. It's the jagged rocky coast of Andrew Wyeth's Maine. It's Irish. It's Italian. It's Vietnamese. It's Haitian. It's Cambodian. It's Portuguese.

From the shores of historic seaports and lively harbors such as Newport and Providence, Rhode Island, Boston and Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Mystic, Connecticut, complete with its maritime museum, New England has some of the most interesting power cruising and sailing in the United States. And whether you choose to enjoy the harbor and city lights from afar or choose to be in the middle of the action, your Galaxsea charter will be the perfect base of adventure.

New England yachting offers a variety of experiences. For example, Maine's ports of Camden, nestling in the shadow of the foothills, offer the opportunity to explore quaint inns and tree-lined streets.

The exclusive seaside community of Newport provides a number of fascinating tour stops, including the famous summer "cottages" built during The Gilded Age. On the sister islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, renowned for its historic significance as a whaling port, charming towns dot the coastline, where a variety of dining, entertainment and shopping abound. And no charter trip to New England is complete without a stop in Historical Boston, with its bustling harbor and lively markets. [top]
