# Our Passion Charter Company ## Posts - [Recognized in the press](https://sailingourpassion.com/recognized-in-the-press/): We got our first recognition in the media for our participation in the Lagoon Pond Association’s Lighting the Lagoon boat parade on Martha’s Vineyard.We are very happy and proud to be part of the summer sailing community on such a beautiful island. - [Going South – Winter 2025](https://sailingourpassion.com/going-south-winter-2025/): It may only be mid-July, but it’s already time to begin planning our journey South for the winter. Our potential winter charter stops include Annapolis, MD; Norfolk, VA; Charleston, SC; and West Palm Beach, FL. Traveling between these destinations will take us along a mix of offshore and inshore routes—via both the Atlantic Ocean and the scenic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Looking further afield, we’re also considering a return to the Bahamas, where we are fully licensed to bring guests aboard. Our spring trip to the Bahamas was fantastic—though far too short—and left us wanting more. Staying stateside, we’re also eyeing […] - [Mattapoisett Harbor Days](https://sailingourpassion.com/mattapoisett-harbor-days/): We will be attending the cutest, quaint seaside festival in Massachusetts this year: Mattapoisett Harbor Days.

After a wonderful winter in Florida filled with lots of boat projects, sea days, and license upgrades, we went to the Bahamas for a few weeks to see what all the hype is about. Come to find out, it’s not hype! The Bahamas were even better than people said they were going to be, and we are excited about going back to see more. The boat performed very well over four thousand miles with a mix of the Intracoastal Water Way and the great Atlantic Ocean. We […] - [Cuttyhunk Adventure](https://sailingourpassion.com/cuttyhunk-adventure/): On a bright summer morning, we picked up Jonathan, Terri and Maxwell in Dartmouth Massachusetts. They boarded the vessel not knowing the beauty and adventure that awaited them. Just a family eager for a break from the city while looking to make new memories. As we glided across Buzzards Bay, laughter filled the air. Maxwell marveled at the sail’s billow and the ocean’s endless horizon. Once we landed the whole family learned about Cuttyhunk’s rich history and local wildlife. We tried to create a seamless blend of relaxation and exploration, turning a simple trip on Our Passion into a treasured […] - [Ladies day to Cuttyhunk](https://sailingourpassion.com/ladies-day-to-cuttyhunk/): Today we had three lovely ladies and their pooches onboard for a day trip to Cuttyhunk. We started at about 10am in Dartmouth with light winds and overcast conditions. We motored out to Buzzards Bay at which point the wind was strong enough to propel us at a comfortable 6 knots. A little less than two hours later we took the sails down and motored into picturesque Cuttyhunk. Once anchored, we had a snack on board and then took the tender in to shore. The ladies took their time exporing the water front area and we place an order at […] - [Open that Bridge!](https://sailingourpassion.com/open-that-bridge/): Today we were join by a guest and his two sons who are 4 and 6 years old. We sailed around Vineyard Haven Harbor looking at all the other boats and enjoying seeing the ferries go by. At the appointed time, we requested by radio that the draw bridge between Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs open so we could pass through. The bridge stopped all the cars, bikes and pedestrian traffic so we could safely pass. Once through the bridge, we set the sails and turned off the engine. We peacefully sailed the length of the lagoon for about a […] ## Pages - [Links](https://sailingourpassion.com/links/): Website: sailingourpassion.comEmail: sailingourpassion@gmail.comGoogle: Our Passion Charter CompanyLeave us a review on Google Maps: Google MapsLeave us a review on Apple Maps: Coming Soon!Facebook: Coming Soon!Instagram: Coming Soon!TripAdvisor: Our Passion Charter CompanyYelp: Our Passion Charter Company on YelpYouTube: Our Passion Charter Company on YouTube - [Our Passion Family Company](https://sailingourpassion.com/family-company/): Our Passion Charter Family of Companies includes Martha’s Vineyard Charter Company, Buzzards Bay Charter Company and Our Passion Charter Company. - [What to Bring](https://sailingourpassion.com/what-to-bring/): (please provide this list to all attendees) All Trips: Additional Items (specific to your planned itinerary) Cuttyhunk Trip: Overnight: Seasickness: If you know someone in your party is prone to seasickness the over the counter remedies listed below are worth considering.
