Perched high on the Bluffs of Watch Hill, Rhode Island, Ocean House overlooks a pristine stretch of private beach with sweeping views of the Atlantic. The reopening of Ocean House represents the return of one of New England's most celebrated Victorian-era seaside resorts. Famously known for its warm yellow facade and stunning views, Ocean House originally opened in 1868. The grand hotel welcomed

guests for 136 years, and in 2004 a new structure was conceived, which replicates the original exterior design, while providing guests and residents with an unparalleled seaside experience complete with five-star service levels.

Spying adventure ahead.

Out on the water, the pace shifts - and the coastline opens up in a different way. Aboard Charis, our Wilbur 34 yacht, set out to explore the waters around Watch Hill, Fisher’s Island, Stonington, and Mystic, or venture farther for a day trip to Montauk. Spend the afternoon cruising, or settle in for a sunset on the water, complete with sparkling wine and a cheese plate as the light begins to fade.

With space for up to six guests, it’s an experience designed to be shared. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
