Superyachts Fill Nantucket Waters At Summer's End

The season is winding down on Nantucket, but the superyachts are still roaming the island’s waters.

At the end of Straight Wharf currently is the 190-foot superyacht Unbridled. The American-built yacht was recently sold for $25 million by William Wrigley, the heir to the Wrigley's chewing gum fortune. Unbridled can accommodate up to 16 guests in six suites, and is now available to charter for $300,000 per week, plus expenses, through IYC.

Down the row of vessels at the end of Straight Wharf is another massive superyacht: Annastar.

The 163-foot Annastar is another American-built yacht, and is owned by Stanley Star, the co-founder of Cliffstar, a juice manufacturer that was sold in 2010 for $500 million. The $40 million superyacht Annastar was completed in 2012, and can accommodate 12 guests and 12 crew members. It’s annual running costs are $2 million to $4 million.

Another giant that recently appeared in Nantucket waters but has since left was the 208-foot superyacht Moca, which was moored outside the harbor.
