shelter island yacht club wedding

• Information

I won’t be able to express to you how much I enjoyed every moment of Claire & Matt’s wedding day. There were so many small moments that added up to one of the best times I’ve had doing the job I love. To begin with, we had to take not one, but two ferries to get to the wedding. Any travel by water going vessel is the greatest thing in my book, so that x2 is close to perfect.

These two were married on Shelter Island in New York. Claire got ready in a house close by to Matt’s family’s home on the island, while Matt got ready in another house close by as well. One of my favorite parts of the day was spending a few moments alone with Claire after she got her dress on, and right before the first look with Matt. Excuse me while I digress a moment. I remember my Mom telling me a story about her wedding day, where she saw herself in her dress, saw my Dad in his tux and saw their wedding party all decked out and she began to laugh. It all seemed so strange to her. The day was actually happening, and who were these friends who were normally in t-shirts and jeans all dressed up, and was she really the bride? After months of planning, the day was actually there. Those few moments with Claire felt similar to the story my Mom told me. Claire couldn’t believe it was actually all happening. There was a feeling like she was looking down on herself experiencing it all. I loved how present and how real Claire was in those moments.

Their ceremony happened on the patio of Matt’s parents’ home overlooking Dering Harbor. Following the ceremony Claire & Matt took a few minutes to take it all in while their guests walked down a path to the Shelter Island Yacht Club for cocktail hour and the reception. After family photos, C&M took a boat ride in Scout , Matt’s family’s boat, which also happens to be the boat Matt proposed to Claire on. I was very excited to join them to capture this part of their day. I was also very excited to be out on the water!

The rest of the evening went by in a whirlwind, as weddings often do. There first dance was to “This Must Be the Place” by Talking Heads, which was pretty great. There were tears (the best) during the toasts and tons of dancing to finish out the evening.

Peter & I took the ferry back attempting to take it all in. We had another ferry ahead of us early the next morning to photograph another wonderful wedding (which will be posted soon) the next day. As we floated back to the mainland we talked about all the connections that came together at Claire & Matt’s wedding. Claire & Matt attended St. Lawrence University, where Mary & Hank also attended. We photographed their wedding a couple of years ago on Block Island. The weekend before we were on Block Island at the Atlantic Inn for Erin & Michael’s wedding. Erin found me on the world wide web because of Mary & Hank’s wedding. Lastly, one of Claire’s bridesmaids was a bridesmaid at Stephanie & Matthew’s wedding which we photographed at the deCordova a couple of years ago. Tie-ins like that make this job even more fulfilling than it already is for me.

Claire & Matt, thank you for entrusting us with documenting your day, and choosing us to be a part of your celebration. We had the best time!

Place is absolutely gorgeous!! In love with Shelter Islamd they only trouble is you need to take a ferry or private boat here.. Other then that its amazing!!

Before departing for Shelter Island, we referenced our copy of the 2017 Register of American Yacht Clubs Reciprocity Guide, confirming that both our club and the Shelter Island Yacht Club were listed and that SIYC offered reciprocity. Upon arriving at SIYC, we inquired with the staff at the desk, one of whom we believe was the manager. This 'gentleman' representing SIYC proceeded to lie - yes... *lie* - to us, stating that our club was not listed in the book, and that we could not be granted access to his club. My husband sits on our yacht club's board of directors. He was puzzled as to how this situation could arise since he personally wrote the 2017 membership check to the Yachting Club of America. He was sure that our club was listed in the membership guide. When we returned from our trip, we again verified that Shelter Island Yacht Club indeed was listed as a reciprocal club, along with our club, in the 2017 Register. It is outrageous that our yacht club paid a $500 membership fee so that its members could enjoy reciprocal privileges, yet my husband and I were blatantly lied to and turned away. We are a couple in our 50s, highly educated, polite, and well-dressed. The manager's actions were unwarranted. We quietly walked away from SIYC, disappointed and offended by the deplorable behavior of its management and representatives.

We have sailed here for decades. Reciprocal privileges. Great showers , ice, and launch. I love this YC. Bring a collared shirt! Stand for Colors! Dog friendly. They have a nice menu. Spectacular views of the mooring field with its Herrshoff 12.5 fleet . Close to wonderful restaurants within walking distance. A Hardware store has marine supplies and a little of everything else. Ice cream, a small market and a toy store will entertain kids. Fuel, bike rentals nearby. Walk to the island ferry and head over to Greenport too. Great staff.

Private Charters – Triton Management LLC requires all cancellations be made 14 days prior to the scheduled departure time to receive a full refund. Cancellation within 14 days of the charter will forfeit their deposit.

Ticketed Charters – Tickets are 100% refundable if canceled at least 24 hours prior to the charter’s departure time. Triton Charters may cancel ticketed charters anytime for any reason in which case, our customers will receive a full refund.

WEATHER POLICY Triton Charters does not operate in unsafe weather conditions, but a light rain shower is not a deterrent. The captain will assess the weather and should the captain determine that the conditions are unsafe to run the charter, the charter may be rescheduled or it will be canceled.

If a trip is canceled by Triton Charters for any reason, you will have the option of receiving a voucher for a future trip or receiving a full refund.

Please note that failure to show for the reserved trip without cancellation will result in no refund

**Triton Charters reserves the right to change/alter our cancellation and refund policy as needed based on availability, or any circumstances deemed necessary.

Notable Landmarks and Sites We’ll See

As you soak in the sun, we’ll sail past some of San Diego’s most spectacular coastal sites introducing (or reacquainting) you with the:

USS Midway Aircraft Carrier– The USS Midway was commissioned one week after the end of World War II, was the largest ship in the world until 1955, and was the longest-serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century. The Midway was so large it could carry 120 planes on its armored flight deck and was the first aircraft carrier unable to cruise the Panama Canal due to its sheer size. While you are visiting San Diego, be sure to check out the USS Midway Museum to learn more about this iconic ship. Star of India – Star of India is the world’s oldest active sailing ship. She is an iron ship with a long and storied past that includes collisions, mutiny and cyclones. She worked as a cargo ship and then spent half a century bringing emigrants to New Zealand. You can tour the Star of India at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. North Island Military Base – Dubbed the official birthplace of aviation, the North Island Military Base is an active military base home to two aircraft carriers and 23 fixed and rotary wing squadrons. Cabrillo National Museum – The Cabrillo National Monument and museum mark the location where the first European set foot on the western US. There is a lot to take in at Cabrillo park including the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and the rocky intertidal zone. Hotel del Coronado – The Hotel Del is a historic beachfront luxury hotel situated in the city of Coronado, just over the bridge from downtown San Diego. It opened in 1888 as the largest resort hotel in the world and today is the second-largest wooden structure in the US. If you are visiting San Diego, it is definitely worth spending a couple of hours at The Del — grab lunch or stroll the pristine beach.
