Martha's Vineyard Sailing Travel Tips

By Sarah White

  • Check out Martha's Vineyard Oceansports in Oak Bluffs or head down the road to Wind's Up for parasailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, or boat rental.
  • Enroll in a solo or group refresher course at Island Sailing Schools—on your boat or theirs.
  • Experience life aboard a classic 90-foot schooner on the Alabama. Three-hour day or sunset sails cost US$60.
  • Book early to beat the holiday weekend crowds at Oak Bluffs Marina, the island's largest marina, with 80 slips and 45 moorings.
