Cruise New England’s coast—set sail from Newport’s storied harbor, bask on Block Island’s quiet shores, savor Cuttyhunk’s oysters, wander Martha’s Vineyard’s beaches, explore Nantucket’s seaside charm, and stroll Woods Hole’s wharves before returning to Newport’s timeless maritime elegance.
Summer Sun and Crisp Evenings
The prime cruising season runs from late June through early September, when temperatures range from the mid-70s to low 80s°F. Early summer offers blooming gardens and fewer crowds, while late summer brings warm seas and lively harbor scenes. Autumn is cooler but spectacular, with fall foliage peaking in late September and October.
