Sag Harbor 74 foot schooner

Luna

Luna is listed as a US Coast Guard inspected passenger schooner carrying 41 guests. That figure sits on Boatsetter, marketplace, and it is the only specific inspected passenger number published anywhere in the Long Island fleet. It is also the whole of the record. There is no operator website, no published price and no disclosed berth until you book.

The number every other operator should be publishing

Every other operator in this study publishes a capacity that is an operator claim. Luna's listing states an inspected passenger capacity and attaches the figure 41 to it, which is exactly what a Certificate of Inspection does. The catch is where it sits. Boatsetter is a peer to peer charter marketplace, the number carries a marketplace label, and no certificate document is public for this boat or for any other Long Island vessel. Confirm 41 directly before you build a guest list around it.

Everything known about this boat comes from one listing

There is no operator site to check the listing against. Price is not published. The listing asks you to message for a quote and notes that advertised rates cover up to 20 guests and include the captain, two crew and standard gratuity, so larger groups need a custom quote. Quarter day charters run 2.5 hours at reduced rates. Catering and event options are described as available, and the vessel is said to come fully provisioned with serving equipment. Ceremony provisions are not published at all.

A 74 foot sailing vessel is a different wedding from a party boat

Under sail, 41 guests is a large number for the East End. The listing describes swim floats, paddleboards and fee based towel service, which tells you the product is built around a day on the water. A wedding aboard would be shaped by the sailing, by the light and by how long the boat stays out, and none of that is spelled out anywhere. The berth is not disclosed until you book, which matters for guest directions and for parking, so ask about both early.

Ask before you book

  1. Can you send the Certificate of Inspection showing the 41 passenger figure and the permitted route?
  2. What is the charter rate for 41 guests for a four hour afternoon in season?
  3. Where exactly does the boat board, and where do guests park?
  4. May a ceremony be performed aboard, and what is the plan if it rains?
  5. Which company signs the charter agreement?
