The Boat

Forty-Seven Feet of Pure Freedom.

Not all sailing charters are created equal. While most competitors operate 30–34 foot vessels, Allyn's 47-foot Beneteau Oceanis offers significantly more deck space, smoother sailing stability, and the capacity to host larger groups in genuine comfort. This is the difference between a charter and an experience.

Guest Stories

Moments They'll Never Forget.

★★★★★

We celebrated our anniversary on Allyn's boat and it was the most romantic evening of our lives. The sunset, the water, the privacy — absolutely magical. We're already planning our return.

Sarah & Michael T. · Great Neck, NY
★★★★★

I proposed to my fiancée at sea with Captain Allyn's help. She cried. I cried. Even Allyn got a little emotional. Best decision I've ever made — both the proposal and the charter.

James R. · Manhasset, NY
★★★★★

We booked Allyn for our company team outing and it completely blew everyone away. Our team talked about it for months. Already booked again for next summer.
