Dear Friends and Fellow Adventurers,

A Note from Captain Ed

As we head into 2026, I have some news.

I’m no longer offering a full menu of charters.
Island Time has been sold. In its place is a smaller, more personal vessel, on which I’ll continue to host couples or individual guests on a limited basis — for those who value simplicity, quiet, and being present on the water, without the pull of itineraries or phones.

My love for introducing guests to naturism and the sense of freedom it affords, through time spent at Moshup Beach & the Gay Head Cliffs, will remain my primary focus moving forward, said trips offered by inquiry.

For 25 years, MV Leisure Charters has been part of countless Vineyard summers — unhurried days, familiar faces alongside new ones, and time on the water that gave people a genuine sense of the island to carry home with them, something that can’t be bought in a store.

I’ve loved every moment of helping people make memories that last a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.

For some, this is a goodbye and a thank you.
For others, it’s simply the next chapter.

Thank you for Making Memories !!

    "Captain Ed - Thanks again for the great day yesterday. You made it comfortable for my wife. I didn’t think she’d go that far with the naturist option. I think she overcame a few fears. We head down to the nudist beach today for a couple hours before we get on the ferry. We will see you again."
