NANTUCKET MASSACHUSETTS

This guide is truly a celebration of this very special New England treasure. I am delighted to share with you Volume 4 of The Scout Guide Nantucket , celebrating the artisans, entrepreneurs, and makers behind the exceptional businesses on island. These people have taken risks, followed their passions, and made a commitment to supporting our community.

As we enter a new season, I couldn’t be prouder to introduce you to some of the champions of this beautiful, idyllic island paradise 30 miles out to sea. It is my honor to be an advocate, ambassador, and cheerleader for the people and the places you’ll see in these pages. These are the individuals and families who make our community a remarkable place to live!

I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the businesses that appear on these pages. Thank you for being a part of this powerful collective network that supports small businesses. It is an honor to tell your stories, and I can’t wait to share more about you in the coming year!

Our team has worked tirelessly over the past several months to put together this very special edition of The Scout Guide Nantucket ! I truly hope you enjoy what we’ve created, but more than anything, my wish is that Volume 4 inspires you to support our local businesses as they have always supported us. Next time you're near one of these businesses, be sure to stop and meet the people who make our town so special, and don’t forget to tell them The Scout Guide sent you!

See you around town!

DEVON MCCREADY is owner & gallery director of Samuel Owen Palm Beach, specializing in Pop Contemporary Art. From a young age, McCready showed a passion for the arts that was honed at the prestigious Milton Academy in Boston. A diligent student, she graduated with an art history degree from Boston College and a master’s degree in Modern and Contemporary Art. After working as Gallery Director for Samuel Owen Nantucket, at the age of 25, McCready decided to take a leap of faith and open her own location. In its fourth year of business, Samuel Owen Palm Beach, with McCready at the helm, has been profitable since year one and increased sales exponentially year after year. McCready is an integral part of both locations and splits the year between the Nantucket and Palm Beach galleries. In her free time, Devon enjoys volunteering with local charities, kickboxing and taking her rescue dog Lady for long walks on the beach. Devon is proud to contribute to a publication that uplifts local businesses like her own.

EDWARD T. WRIGHT III is a longtime Nantucket summer resident with roots in both Palm Beach and Nantucket. His parents and grandparents wintered in Palm Beach and spent their summers on Nantucket. His father and grandmother, a well known socialite, discovered the island in the late 1970s and fell in love from the minute they stepped onto her shores. Edward has many fond childhood memories on the island, from surfi ng on the south shore to sailing in the sound. Edward, a.k.a. “Townie” or “The Watch Guy”, owns and operates The Trinity Collection which is a high-end watch and jewelry store. If you are looking for a rare vintage watch or a hard-to-get modern timepiece, he is the go-to for many heads of industry, celebrities, and rock stars. Specializing in Patek Philippe, Rolex, Cartier, and others, his collection is astounding. He is very knowledgeable about both Nantucket and fi ne timepieces and always willing to chat about both.

Nantucket native DAVID-WILLIAM COFFIN is a thirteenth-generation descendant of Tristam Coffi n, head of one of the seven families that founded the island. Proud of his Nantucket heritage, D.W. reflects, “There’s a pride, camaraderie, and toughness that carry every single person who’s from here. There’s an honor to it and a sense of respect that we’re just passing through here to take care of the island.” You’ll often fi nd him around town or fi shing at Smith Point, then grilling at sunset with bonfi res on the beach.

As founder of numerous start-ups, his appreciation and passion for the entrepreneurial spirit is near and dear to his heart. D.W. now focuses on various investments and spends his time between Nantucket and Palm Beach.

Kate has been with The United Way for over a decade and sits on the board of Horizons for Homeless Children, among other charity work.
