All the benefits of owning a boat with none of the hassles at a fraction of the expense!!

 

 

SAIL CT is a bareboat charter company based in Westbrook, CT. Explore the Connecticut coast and beyond aboard a luxury 36' yacht. We are located within comfortable cruising distance to the North Fork/Hamptons in Long Island along with many other great sailing destinations such as Mystic and Block Island. Sea breezes, peaceful anchorages, picturesque villages, and unspoiled beaches are yours to enjoy for a few days or a whole season.

SAIL CT is not your average charter company. Catering to experienced sailors, you'll feel like the boat is your own with a vessel free of advertisements and all the comforts of home.  We offer countless upgrades and features not found through most charters. We also take great care in ensuring all systems are properly maintained and that everything is meticulously clean.

 


We offer two ways to enjoy sailing in Connecticut and beyond:

1) Classic Bareboat Charter. Book a 3 to 9 day excursion from May through October. As the captain, you can sail the boat anywhere in the cruising area (as far as Martha's Vineyard). We can assist you in planning an itinerary.

2)  Season Pass (Best Value!) A Season Pass gives you the experience of owning your own boat without the expense or the headaches. It provides you a flexible block of time to be spent over the whole sailing season whether that's mostly day sails or longer excursions is up to you. Once checked out for the season you can come and go as you please! This is especially advantageous for those with availability during the week.


 

A little rusty on your sailing skills? - Need a refresher on a modern boat? We offer customized training to get you up to speed quickly. We also provide reference materials on all systems as well as "quick guides" to help you get accustomed to procedures.

Online Calendar for flexible reservations. Through the use of an online calendar, you can schedule time on the boat ahead of time. If the boat isn't booked on a particular day, you can even decide to go sailing at a moment's notice. This option works well for people who live locally or within a few hours drive to Westbrook and is ideal for retirees. The season pass is also a great choice for people who would like to get to know an area through a series of excursions throughout the season rather than one charter.
