Trim Again

Sailing with Captain Jack aboard Trim Again is a Watch Hill must-experience. Trim Again brings you back to the Golden Age of Watch Hill’s famous fashionable seaside hotels and the romance of yachting excursions in the 19th century! Trim Again has been the subject of many articles and has appeared in movies and fashion magazines. Her log is replete with engagements, anniversaries, birthdays and wonderful quotes from her many famous guests and memorable passages. Sailing aboard Trim Again, a classic wooden yacht designed for comfort and elegance, is a delight to the senses. Relax to the sound of the calm sea lapping against Trim Again’s cedar hull. Enjoy the cool summer shade provided by an enormous sail, delight in a stunning sunset as the last rays of daylight dance on the gentle ripples of her wake. Marvel as flocks of birds (least sandpipers, snowy egrets) alight on the marsh surface, glimpse an osprey or tern fishing on the bay as you sail along the beautiful landscape of the perfect isolated beaches and forests of our bay and sound. Varnished to perfection and roomy enough for six guests, her large cockpit is ideal for romantic sunset cruises, engagements, anniversaries, family gatherings, company retreats, bird watching, photography and more. Captain Jack encourages all guests to take the helm and sail the boat.
