Pershing Yacht Charter in the Hamptons
Some days call for more than a boat. This charter puts you on one of our flagship Pershing yachts with a USCG-licensed captain, cruising the East End in real style. Pershing is an Italian builder known for fast, sleek performance yachts. On Peconic Bay, that speed means more water and more stops in the same day.
Charters in The Hamptons is family-run and based on Shelter Island. Cousins Mike and JT grew up working at their family's marina here, earned their USCG licenses in 2019, and have run more than 200 charters since. When you step aboard, you get local captains who know these harbors, not a booking platform.
Why charter one here
The East End rewards a fast boat. Sag Harbor, Greenport, Dering Harbor, and the bay beaches sit in different directions from our Shelter Island home dock. On a fast yacht, the ride between stops becomes part of the fun. You spend the day out on the water instead of in transit.
It is also simply a beautiful boat to spend a day on. Clean Italian lines, open deck space, and a profile that turns heads pulling into Sag Harbor. If you want photos from the day, you will have no shortage of backdrops.
Occasions that fit this charter
Proposals. A private yacht, a Peconic Bay sunset, and a captain who knows exactly where to be when the light hits. See our proposal charter for how we plan these.

Milestone celebrations. Big birthdays and anniversaries. Bring champagne and your own food. A cooler is welcome aboard.
A luxury day, done simply. No occasion needed. Cruise, swim, dock for lunch, and head home at sunset.
How the charter works
Every charter includes your USCG-licensed captain. You need no boating license or experience. We carry up to six passengers, the USCG limit for uninspected vessels, which keeps the day private by design. Pickup is available at Greenport on the North Fork and Sag Harbor on the South Fork, and summer sunsets here run as late as 8:25 pm in June, so evening cruises have plenty of light.
Choose a 4-hour half-day charter for a focused outing or an 8-hour full-day charter to reach Montauk or loop both forks. You can compare our charter boats on the fleet page.
