Saskianna Still Available in New England

This classic cutter could take you to any of New England's many island destinations.

Saskianna is a 57-foot Bruce King design that was built in 1986 and most recently refit in 2006. Management company Nicholson Yachts tells me the boat still has availability before the summer season ends in New England.

The boat’s layout is ideal for a family of four. The master cabin has a queen-size bed plus a single for a small child, while the other guest cabin has upper-lower twins (like bunk berths) that would be fine for children or some adults. If you choose to charter Saskianna, note that the crew share at least one onboard bathroom with guests.

Also worth noting, especially for a yacht this age, is that Saskianna is air conditioned throughout. That can be important even during the late summer and early fall months in New England, when temperatures can still get well up above 80 and even 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
