As one of the most popular getaways for well to do New Yorkers, the Hampton’s offer a great choice of opportunities for sailing. Find your perfect boat rental with Sailo and enjoy the best that the Hamptons have to offer.
The far eastern end of Long Island is dotted with pretty villages and towns, long sandy beaches and a whole plethora of desirable homes. It’s a beautiful place to pass some time, and easily accessible from downtown New York in just a couple of hours, it makes a great getaway from the city. Of course, one of the best things to do in the Hampton’s is jump aboard your own boat to enjoy the open seas. If you don’t have you own boat then you’ll find private boat rentals and yacht charters for the day, or longer, available in some of the most popular areas including Sag Harbor and Montauk.
Sailo offers a fantastic choice of yacht rentals for you to browse, with an option of either a captained boat, or if you have the experience you can choose to rent a bareboat (just the boat with no crew).

Setting sail in the Hamptons, you’ll likely pass Montauk lighthouse. The fourth oldest in the US, and the oldest in New York state, the lighthouse is today the location of a fascinating museum which features fascinating exhibits and incredible panoramic views.
Montauk itself is a fairly sleepy village that is popular in the summer. The surrounding area is home to excellent beaches and is also a great place to pick up your Sailo motor yacht, sailboat or catamaran charter.
Nestled in between the forks at the end of Long Island, Shelter Island is easily accessible by sailboat or motor yacht charter from Sag Harbor or any other town on the north or south fork. The island itself is home to Mashomack Preserve, a marshy coastal nature reserve. The island is also dotted with homes and quaint marinas, inviting you to stop by for some food or drink. Shelter Island is a popular place to explore by yacht charter in the Hamptons.
The village of Sag Harbor was originally established as a fishing community, but today you’re more likely to find the well heeled relaxing on the water. The village is home to celebrities and is a popular hangout for New Yorkers, with some stunning homes. Visitors will find some of the best things to do in Sag Harbor include renting a sailboat to explore the Hamptons, or indulging in some watersports. Wakeboarding and waterskiing are popular things to do around these parts, with many boat owners offering watersports activities.
Suggested Boats
The south fork offers several opportunities for fantastic days out fishing. Charter a boat from East Hampton or Montauk and head out into the Atlantic to see what you can catch. The area is home to striped bass and false albacore, a member of the tuna fish family, and as one of the best things to do in the area, fishing is a popular activity with plenty of boat rentals to choose from. Whatever you catch, you’re sure to have a spectacular day on a fishing trip from the Hamptons.
These two outlying islands are easily to reach by private yacht from the Hamptons, however anchoring/docking is prohibited on both of them. Gardiner’s Island is privately owned and Plum Island is home to a research center, which is due to close within the next few years. So as fascinating as it might be to sail past these two mysterious islands, you can’t set foot on them… For now. But if you’re looking for a fun day out on the water, they make a great waypoint on your sailing trip from the Hamptons.
Many celebrities, titans of business, and New Yorkers call The Hamptons their home each weekend during the summer months. Luxury cars dot the parking lots, and high-end stores line the main streets. Why not experience a taste of the good life for the day by chartering a luxury yacht to explore the local waters and sites. Anchor in a cove and enjoy the water toys, or watch the sunset from the aft deck. You will feel like you have entered the Forbes 500 when you charter a yacht out East.
