The new program lets boat owners cruise their own vessels alongside Capt. Steve, with route planning, local knowledge, and hands-on guidance built in
-- Monty's Ark Adventures, a private boat charter company based in New Rochelle, New York, today announced the launch of Captain-Led Cruising Adventures, a new small-group program designed for boaters who want to explore farther waters with the support of an experienced local captain.

Unlike a traditional charter, Captain-Led Cruising Adventures is built for people who already own a boat. Participants cruise in their own vessel while Capt. Steve leads the group aboard Monty's Ark, guiding the route and helping the fleet reach new destinations together across Long Island Sound, the Hudson River, and coastal New England.
Cruise Your Own Boat, with a Captain Leading the Way
The program is aimed at boaters who want to venture beyond familiar waters but would rather not navigate new routes, marinas, and anchorages alone. With Monty's Ark serving as the lead vessel, Capt. Steve provides route planning, local knowledge, and practical guidance throughout the trip, while each participant maintains full control of their own boat.
"A lot of boaters have the boat and the desire to go farther, they just want someone who knows the waters to lead the way," said Capt. Steve. "This gives people the confidence to explore new harbors and anchorages, in their own boat, as part of a small group instead of going it alone."
Captain-Led Cruising Adventures includes support for marina stays, moorings and anchorages, and raft-ups with the rest of the group, along with flexible itineraries built around the interests and experience level of each group.
Destinations Along Long Island Sound, the Hudson River, and the New England Coast
The program currently runs along two primary routes:
Long Island Sound and Coastal New England: Groups cruise to scenic harbors and charming coastal towns, with overnight stays at marinas and protected anchorages that reflect classic New England cruising.
Hudson River North Toward Albany: This route takes boaters through picturesque river towns and historic ports, with scenic cruising past locks and landmarks, and peaceful anchorages along the way.
Why Boaters Choose Monty's Ark Adventures
Captain-Led Cruising Adventures draws on Monty's Ark Adventures' years of experience running charters across the region's waterways. The program is built around:

- Route planning and marina and mooring guidance for each trip
- Anchoring support and practical tips suited to newer or less experienced cruisers
- A small-group setting that keeps each trip personal and manageable
