fish class sailboat for sale

Herreshoff Fish Class

Custom built by Artisan Boatworks to the highest yacht standard of either traditional wood or wood/epoxy composite construction.

The Fish Class is and enlarged version of the ubiquitous Herreshoff 12-1/2, with the same virtues of stability, rough water ability, good looks, and excellent handling characteristics. While she is only  4′ longer than the 12-1/2, she has twice the displacement and thus, in real terms, is twice as big. 

The cuddy cabin allows for storage space and some privacy for use of a head or bucket, and she is generally a fine, handy, compact boat that will  keep the sailing fun even when conditions are less than optimum. She will sail fast at moderate  angles of heel, and like her smaller cousins features a large, deep cockpit that will be reassuring for folks of all ages and will be particularly good for couples with small children.

Marlin Heritage

Designed by: nathanael herreshoff.

The redesigned Cape Cod Marlin Heritage combines the best of Nathanael Herreshoff’s Fish and Marlin designs with a touch of modern amenities. Her classic hull shape below the waterline remains unchanged. The comfortable cockpit is slightly smaller than the original Fish allowing more cabin space. This is a return to the era of Herreshoff when simplicity was fundamental, boats were designed for performance, built with craftsmanship and pride, and remained strikingly beautiful.

New Boat Options

In order to rent our sailboats you must pass a skills evaluation on that specific sailboat by either completing the prerequisite class at MBAC or completing a 2-hour private lesson if you have previous sailing experience.  We are a self-service rental facility and when you rent a sailboat you are required to launch, rig, de-rig, and clean up your equipment.  

Regardless of sailing experience and ability, you MUST complete at least a 2-hour private lesson with one of our instructors. During your lesson you will be shown where the equipment is stored, how to rig and launch, demonstrate your sailing ability, complete a capsize and recovery, and be shown how to de-rig and store the equipment properly.  You can book a small boat sailing private lesson here . Your skills evaluation will stay valid for 5 years from your evaluation date, or the last date that you rented that specific piece of equipment.

Sailboat Rental Policies:

• You must be at least 18 years of age to rent equipment and willing to take financial and legal responsibility for the equipment you are renting.
• Minors between the ages of 14-17 may participate on their own sailboat with someone over the age of 18 supervising them and a waiver  must be signed by their parent. Children under the age of 14 must participate in the rental on the same piece of equipment as the adult and the adult must still go through the checkoff process.
• All equipment must be returned within 2.5 hours or ½ hour before closing—whichever comes first.
• You must wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at ALL TIMES.
• Rentals are self service, meaning that customers are expected to setup, rinse, and put away their own equipment.
• You are not allowed to go under any bridges.
• No animals or alcohol allowed on equipment. Those suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be permitted to use equipment.
• Commercial activity is prohibited on rental equipment.
• Hobie Getaways require at least 2 passengers over the age of 14.
• The maximum capacity for Quests is 4 people and Hobie Getaways is 5 people.
