After doing some research about boat charters from Greenport, NY, we picked End End Charters based on their history on the North Fork and their positive reviews. The cruise was intended as a treat to celebrate a family reunion, so we wanted to be sure it would be special. Initially we selected a sunset cruise on a Friday evening, but Erick called us a couple of days in advance to let us know that there would potentially be thunderstorms coming into the area. Together, we agreed on Sunday morning as an alternative. Great call Erick and we are so glad we did! Sunday morning on the water was picture perfect. We arrived on time at East End Charter's centrally located HQ on Manhanset Av and met Erick, Hannah and Helena, our crew for the morning. Their beautiful boat, "Surprise" exceeded our expectations. She's a 57-foot wooden sail boat with many unique features. One of the best moments of the cruise was the swim we all took in the Peconic Bay when the boat anchored just off Orient Point. A heavenly way to break the July heat. From start to finish, the whole experience was 5 stars. From the wonderful welcoming hospitality on board, to the sail experience itself we could not have enjoyed it more. Thank you Hannah and Erick for a great morning out. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a once-in-a-lifetime way to celebrate Father's Day with both our adult kids and being together for the first time during the pandemic. Captain Erick and Captain Hannah made our sunset sail an elegant, relaxed and memorable experience. We brought drinks and food and Hannah went below and out came a gorgeously arranged cheese plate, expertly mixed drinks all on gorgeous serving ware. Our hearts were full after a night none of us will ever forget. HUGE thanks!!! Suprise is a stunning wooden ketch and Erick and Hannah are the best.

What a wonderful time we had on the Surprise. Hannah and Eric were the ultimate hosts, they were fascinating, easy to talk to and extremely likable people. The Surprise is a terrific well kept sailing vessel. As soon as Eric raised the sails and turned off the engine we felt like time stopped. We glided along the bay and just heard the gentle breeze and splash of the water against the hull.
We can’t wait to sail on the Surprise next summer. Thank you so much Hannah and Eric for such a memorable and enjoyable time.

I can't think of a more peaceful, fun or civilized way to spend a day than sailing, and doing so with Hannah and Eric of East End Charters is the best way to do this on the North Fork. The boat is beautiful, the vibe is laid back and their attention to detail is great. The first time we sailed we were so comfortable lounging on the chairs at the front of the sailboat that didn't want to move, much less take a swim. Our second time we took the plunge, and loved being able to jump off the boat into the bay. It's like having your own private sailboat for a few hours. Eric and Hannah are fantastic hosts and know so much about sailing. They're also just really fun to talk to. Book a sail now!! :)

My family experienced the breakfast cruise aboard the Surprise - it was fantastic! The boat was gorgeous, Hannah and Erick were all set and ready for us when we arrived with smiles and open arms to welcome us aboard. The weather was perfect for a morning sail and I have to say it was a excellent, private, luxurious trip. Five star experience and I would recommend it to all that seek a relaxing morning, afternoon or evening on the water on a beautiful sailboat, with a gracious crew allowing for good times on the sea! Thank you Hannah and Erick for making it a lovely morning and we will for sure be returning in the future! - The Rios Family, Sound Beach, NY

Capt. Erick and Hannah were great! My family of 5, (15 yo and 11 yo twins) had an amazing time onboard the Surprise! We went on a sunset cruise , ordered some takeout dinner which we ate onboard and Hannah was always attentive to our needs. Their sailboat was impeccable and so was their service! Highly recommend East End Charters! Looking forward to future sails on the Surprise!

Hannah and Eric are the best. Me and five of my girlfriends now religiously make this trip every year in August and we have no plans to change that anytime soon! We’ve done the four hour afternoon sail two times and the full day sail once, which we did two weeks ago. Pack a cooler of champagne and order food from any of the delicious delis or cheese spots around (which they’ll be happy to give you recommendations for!), and they will prepare everything and serve it to you. They also tailor the experience to what you’re looking for. If you just want to sail the whole time, they’ll do that. If you want to stop and swim, they know the best locations. If you want to sit in silence and stare into the view for your whole trip, I haven’t tried that but I’m sure they’d accommodate it. I can’t say enough good things about these two. They are kind, interesting, easy-going people who take exquisite care of their boat. You will not regret this trip.

We are avid boaters but in all of our years boating we have never sailed. We did the four hour afternoon sail and we LOVED it!
I can not say enough good things about sailing on Surprise with Erik and Hanna.
Surprise is a custom boat and she is beautiful, spotlessly clean, very roomy and absolutely perfect for charters. I can't wait to book an overnight stay on Surprise!
Since we are interested in the actual art of sailing we asked many questions and Erik and Hanna were happy to tell us everything about how they were sailing surprise that day.
They were also both very attentive to our every need. They chilled our champagne, and served it to us as we relaxed on the top deck. They also set up our lunch and Birthday cake in the cock pit.
Sailing on Surprise with Erik and Hanna was so relaxing and enjoyable! It truly was The Best Day of the summer!
We highly recommend taking a sail with Erik and Hannah on Surprise.

We took an afternoon sail with Hannah and Erick and had a wonderful time. The boat is beautiful and both Hannah and Erick went out of their way to make the sail a memorable experience for our entire family. Our two young daughters loved getting to swim off the boat, play their own music and lean about sailing. Would highly recommended East End Charters to any family looking for a relaxing and fun filled afternoon on the water.

My friends and I chartered the Surprise with Hannah + Erick on a lovely late August afternoon and it was everything we could have wanted and more!
The boat is phenomenal and we loved getting to know the crew during a 4 hour afternoon sail. It's also worth mentioning that they were so helpful and easy to connect with beforehand to answer any questions.
They made sure we were taken care of throughout the trip and we couldn't have had a better time. We will absolutely be back and I could not recommend it more. If you're thinking about it -- book it!
Thanks!
P.S. I highly recommend swimming, if the weather is suitable and you have the chance.

HI - what is the cost of a charter? How many hours, typically, does the tour last? I live in Mattituck and would like to do something special like this for my sister's birthday. Thanks very much..
