Welcome to Watch Hill Yacht Services
We sail and motor about nine months a year on Block Island, Fisher's Island and Long Island Sounds. Our lineage goes back five generations on the same location on the Pawcatuck River, including the past three generations as a full service boat yard and marina facility. We know these "waters" well and we know what types of boats will provide you with the enjoyment you deserve - whether you are sailing by the shoals off the Connecticut River, boating in the swift currents of Fisher's Island Sound or anchoring in the quietude of Narragansett Bay.
Unlike many other yacht brokers, we rely almost exclusively upon a local network of veteran sailors, area yacht clubs and boatyard operators to keep us abreast of the inventory of sailing craft and powerboats that are available in Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut. We can turn on the Internet as well as any other broker. But it is the "local knowledge" from our trusted network that enables us to uncover that special craft that is perfect for you.
We are also the exclusive manufacturers and dealers of the Watch Hill 15, a 24'6" open cockpit sloop that is raced by the Watch Hill Yacht Club.
We would enjoy working with you as either a buyer or seller and we thank you for stopping by and "rafting-up".

PILGRIM is an exceptional yacht in excellent condition. She has been lovingly cared for by her current owners who have brought her back to near new condition. From 1991 to 1996 she underwent an extensive professional refit including new frames, planking, decking, hatches and trim.
Most recently, the last major item of the refit was completed. The centerboard trunk was entirely replaced in winter of 2006/7 by Gannon & Benjamin in Martha’s Vineyard. To accomplish this, the rudder heel fittings and deadwood were removed. The ballast keel, trunk sides, bed logs and end posts were removed and replaced with angelique wood (copper lined). The top of centerboard trunk was replaced with a bronze weldment.
Complete restoration details are available in the full specs section of this listing. PILGRIM is meticulously maintained and highly recommended - a rare find.
Please click on full specs for a complete listing as well as additional photographs. Inquiries are invited.
