Experience Yacht Racing and Chester
Up Close with Salty Dog Sea Tours
Each day at the Chester Yacht Club wharf, Captain Tony Sampson welcomes 10 guests aboard his 25-foot 2019 G3 Suncatcher X24 RS “Bayside Belle” pontoon boat before heading out to experience Atlantic Yacht Sales Chester Race Week firsthand — from the jostling and intensely competitive pressures of starting lines and mark roundings, to the billowing grace of colourful spinnakers making downwind legs.
With 120+ boats racing daily in 15 fleets on five separate courses – simultaneously – Captain Tony will get you close to a lot of photo-worthy action. Before taking guests back to the CYC, Captain Tony will cruise Chester’s beautiful Front and Back harbours to view the magnificent old and new summer homes for which Chester is so well known.
