Sail MV was founded in 1992 to provide free maritime education to young islanders, and to preserve and protect the island’s maritime heritage.
The 35th Annual Seafood Buffet & Auction will be on July 9th at the Tisbury Wharf, 144 Beach Road, Vineyard Haven. It’s an evening of music, conviviality, and a lobster dinner on Vineyard Haven harbor, a unique celebration of the Island’s maritime community. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the event.
