Charter Information
The NANTUCKET LIGHTSHIP, the last lightship in service in the US until 1985, is one of the most unique luxury classic charter yachts on the water today. The mission of the Lightship, as lifesaving mission, was to stand resolute regardless of the peril and guide all to safe haven. The WLV-612 is one of a proud line of Nantucket Lightships which were known as the Guardian Angels of the North Atlantic from 1854 to 1983; it was the Nantucket Lightship and not the Statue of Liberty which first greeted mariners and immigrants to America.
Converted to a private charter yacht in 2000, the LIGHTSHIP now hosts dignitaries, private charter excursions, and distinctive lifestyle events off the shores of Newport, Nantucket and New York City. The LIGHTSHIP also serves as a clubhouse for Vintage Yaching Club offering members an extraordinary event and hospitality venue. Her history, character, refined elegance and outstanding crew sets the LIGHTSHIP apart from all other classic luxury charter yachts.
Amenities – Plasma TVs / DVD throughout; iPod docking station/music throughout, entertainment room, double and single hammocks, teak steamer lounge chars and service bar, office and gentlemen's lounge.
