Up and down the New England coastline you will be spoiled for choice with events in all the most popular destinations, including Martha’s Vineyard, Falmouth and The Hamptons, each offering their own unique and welcoming celebration. Parades, fireworks form the heart of any self-respecting Independence Day party and all around the region displays compete to be the best. Boston’s display is probably the best known in America and the famous Boston Pops Concert and fireworks is accompanied by a live symphony orchestra. Wherever you are moored a firework display will not be far away, lighting up the sky and spreading colors across the water. Either enjoy the fireworks from the deck of your yacht, or ask your crew to take you in closer by tender for an even more front seat view.

Sharing food is another much-loved tradition on the Fourth, with a barbeque a popular choice to suit to the warm weather. Ask your crew to prepare you an American themed feast, including fresh local lobster, to enjoy al fresco on the deck. Why not even have your own celebrations with an American themed evening, flying the Stars and Stripes and enjoying good food, friendship and fireworks for the comfort of your yacht?
