Once onboard, you will be connected to the maritime history of the Island from the vantage point of a “Spirit of Tradition” yacht. Aldebaran blends classic elegance with modern performance. Whether you are looking for relaxation, adventure, celebration, or stories of island history, Captain Bear is at your service.
Explore the Vineyard waters, you will gain a new perspective on both land and sea. Familiar coastlines become reanimated from the water and new discoveries become new memories. As you sail, feel your pace slow, your attention deepen, and your energy lift. Let your worries slip away on the salty air and begin a vacation morning in the cool wind of the Vineyard Sound.

Enjoy the full warmth of the day and still make it back to shore for your evening dinner plans. Cold drinks and cool breeze will accompany you out on the Vineyard Sound.

With this longer sail, you will get a range of options for your day. Maybe you have always wanted to explore Elizabeth Islands or Cuttyhunk? Aldebaran will sail you there.
Perhaps you simply want to go wherever the wind takes you, we can certainly accommodate this as well. Hear the waves lap against the hull as you relax in the cockpit. Aldebaran offers a comfortable seat to witness the beauty of Martha’s Vineyard and the Islands.

Afternoon Voyage
$3,000
The best way to enjoy a sunset on Martha’s Vineyard is aboard Aldebaran. Avoid the crowded beaches and the blocked views and find yourself with privacy and an unimpeded horizon. You get the best of both worlds, the sunset over the sea and the view of golden hour on the land. Get a rare view of the Aquinnah cliffs as their rainbow clay glows with the setting sun. Between the sky and the reflecting water, you will be immersed in color.
Aldebaran has ample space for you to relax in the cockpit or up on the foredeck as you absorb the beauty of the sunset. Whether underway or resting easy while on anchor, experience a luxurious evening as day fades to night.
Available charters include a sunset sail, a catered dinner, or a little bit of both! Decompress on deck with friends or share a romantic evening with the one you love.
