From Jesse, Sen restaurant, Sag Harbor:

The Sen Boat Day, Curated

We’re surrounded by water out here, so if you’re planning something special, make it a full day on the boat. We at Sen love curating these experiences — breakfast at K Pasa, followed by sushi platters from Sen (or even a sushi chef on board), cheese from Cavaniola’s, a 24-pack from Kidd Squid, and a little cider or wine from Wölffer.

Sail in Style

We often work with Kelpie — a gorgeous wooden boat captained by a local gal who grew up out here and just knows the water. It fits around 24 people, and we’ve done everything from simple spread-and-sip days to fully catered events with chefs rolling sushi on deck.

The Perfect Finish

After cruising, anchor the evening with a sunset and a nightcap at the Green Room. That’s the full Sag Harbor experience — one that pairs food, friends, and the water just right.

A Little Scoop

We’ve catered for Michael Kors on some mega yachts. He always asks for full sushi platters — beautiful setups, all out on display, even if his guests don’t really eat. One bite, a big yum, and done.

Inside Tip

Better than owning a boat is knowing people with boats. Don’t try to DIY it. These experiences are too good to miss. Let us help you pair the boat, the food, and the drinks. The magic’s in the curation.
