- Take the helm with your skipper’s guidance
- Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your skipper is a highly trained & licensed professional

We chartered the Constellation for an afternoon sail last week on February 3,2023 and had a wonderful time. The captain and crew were outstanding and honored all our wishes... read more (save hoisting the spinnaker due to windy conditions) and introduced us to "swamp water". Try it. A grand time was had by this St. John's visiting family. Just a word about the boat; The Constellation is a sailor's dream with a fascinating history. Absolutely beautiful with all the bells and whistles, she's fast and brought back to us the joy of sailing. The boat is impressive, and we had a blast! Many thanks to the owners for keeping the boat in such beautiful condition. We hope for an encore excursion our next visit to the island.

The Colorful History of Constellation
“B. J. Harris has been a licensed Master Mariner for decades. She has logged tens of thousands of miles on boats of all sizes, including an eighty foot classic John Alden ocean racer, an engineless fifty-two foot Sam Crocker classic cutter, and a powerful sixty foot Gulf Star. Her love of the sea is apparent at her St. John Properties’ real estate office–filled with photos and models of classic racing yachts, and at her rental home, Captain’s View–filled with photos of new and old classic yachts, ships lights, sextant and other nautical gear.
Being the proud ‘caretaker’ of a Swan, one of the finest yachts built and a boat described as both beautiful and powerful, has been one of B. J.’s fondest dreams for many years. The joy and dedication she brings to Constellation will be evident to all who see them together–truly a match made in heaven.
