By Anna Ingles 29 April 2026

Luxury yacht charter NORMA JEAN has announced a limited window of availability for summer 2026 yacht charters in New England, with remaining dates running from 15 July to 15 August.

This rare opportunity places the 149.11ft (45.7m) Palmer Johnson charter yacht in one of the most sought-after seasonal cruising grounds, offering guests the chance to experience a different side of the U.S. coastline at the height of summer. Having first appeared at anchor during the Monaco Yacht Show in 2014, NORMA JEAN continues to offer a fast, stylish platform for relaxed coastal exploration.

Originally launched in 2009, charter yacht NORMA JEAN has an open yacht design that places emphasis on outdoor living, making her particularly well-suited to summer charters in the USA. Expansive sun pads and lounge areas create a laid-back environment for socializing, while the swim platform serves as a central hub for waterside activities.

The addition of a deck Jacuzzi enhances time spent on board, offering a place to unwind while taking in coastal views. With a shallow draft of just 1.77m, the yacht is also well-equipped to access secluded bays and anchorages that are often out of reach for larger motor yacht charters.

Carrying a curated selection of water toys designed to complement her coastal cruising style, NORMA JEAN holds a wide range of gear from Jet Skis that provide speed and flexibility for exploring nearby harbors and beaches, to Seabobs that allow guests to discover the underwater environment with ease.

Wakeboards, paddleboards, and inflatables add variety to each day on the water, alongside fishing equipment for those looking to try their hand at local catches. A 37’ Sunseeker chase tender ensures seamless transfers between yacht and shore, whether heading into town or exploring hidden coves.
