Description

Designed by renowned naval architect Royal Lowell, the Bruno & Stillman 42’ is considered one of the finest examples of the Downeast style, which can be seen in harbors throughout New England on both working fishing vessels and pleasure craft. Independence is a thoughtfully restored, classically charming example of the Downeast yacht, especially noteworthy for its warm mahogany deckhouse and intimate settings throughout.

The vessel’s low profile enables her to get uniquely close to the iconic DC monuments and landmarks visible at the water’s edge on the Upper Potomac.

This boat has 1 additional addons available.

The trip on the Independence was wonderful and the highlight of our weekend together in Washington DC. The boat was fantastic, the service was outstanding, communications and catering was top notch. We all really enjoyed the time on the water sipping champagne and nibbling on cheese. Seeing the sights from this angle was something we had never done before.
Having changed the boat to an electric motor was genius!! There was no noise and no motor smells. I felt like and sounded like we were gliding and our conversations were easily heard and so much more enjoyable!
Well done!!!

FAQs

What type of yacht should I charter?
No matter what type of yacht you choose to charter, we know that you will have a fantastic time on the water. If you are more about the journey, and want a relaxing time aboard, then choose from one of the many sailboats on the platform. If you are more about the destination, and going fast, check out the powerboats on Sailo. For an exclusive experience, Sailo recommends chartering a luxurious yacht for the day. Finally, Sailo has access to many event boats as well for group outings from 50 - 1,000 guests. If you are still unsure, then just ask! Read more
What should I bring?
Bring yourself, and some comfortable clothes suitable to the season you are going to be out on the water. Please keep in mind that it is often 10 degrees cooler out on the water, so a jacket or windbreaker is never a bad idea. We also recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses, as well as a swimsuit if appropriate for your charter location. Please coordinate with your captain regarding any food or drinks that you wish to bring aboard. For term-charters, Sailo recommends using soft-sided luggage, and keeping it simple. Read more
How long does a rental last?
The basic daily rental is structured as either a quarter-, half-, or full-day. A quarter-day is two hours, a half-day is four hours, and a full-day is eight hours. You can also discuss a custom trip with the boat by contacting the owner through Sailo. Most term charters (weekly rentals) are from Saturday to Saturday. Keep in mind that the boat generally needs to be back at the dock by Friday evening, and you will need to be off the boat on Saturday morning so they can prepare the boat for the next guests.
