Originally starting out as a humble clam shack, the legendary Galley Beach has evolved into one of the northeast's preeminent restaurant offerings. Serving guest since the 1920s and owned and operated by the Silvia family since 1958, this is a culinary mainstay that must be visited during a New England yacht charter in summer.
Galley Beach doesn't only have legendary status in the northeast, but across America: presidents have regularly dined on its shorefront, many a novel has featured it, and it's won numerous accolades for its dedication to impeccable cuisine and service.

A firm favorite on the Nantucket restaurant scene, guests here love the spectacular sunsets that can be viewed from its open-air dining room, beach bar and canopied lounge with fire-pits. Plus, Galley Beach is only open during the warmer months of the year, which only adds to its coveted allure.
What can diners expect to see on the menu? Galley Beach showcases the finest ingredients, sourced locally wherever possible. Appetizers could include a New England clam chowder with lashings of applewood smoked bacon, mains could involve a succulent lobster roll with slaw, all washed down with a glass of something sparkling.
