NANTUCKET

Home to: the Opera House Cup

In Native American, meaning 'far away place' the island of Nantucket is located off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. We think its isolation gives the place such unique beauty and spellbinding qualities.

Nantucket's Whaling Museum, recently restored, recounts the island’s role as a 19th Century whaling hub.  The island hosts the annual 'Opera House Cup' that takes its name from the eponymous venue whose owner, in 1973, had the idea of organising a regatta reserved for wooden sail boats. Today it's the oldest regatta of this kind to take place along the East Coast of the United States. Every year, a large fleet of vintage boats gathers, giving life to a unique and thrilling spectacle against the backdrop of marvellous scenery offered by Nantucket.  Find out where to stay and what to do below.
