    Such a lovely evening with Captain Sarah and her crew. They go out of their way to ensure you have a fun experience by answering your questions, grabbing you a drink and generally loving their work. Highly recommend!

  • 5Cruising, history and a libation

    We had a sunset cruise on the Adirondack, a beautiful sailing vessel. There was a captain and three crew members— all of whom were highly competent and friendly. Newport harbor was filled with sailing vessels and Narragansett Bay is so beautiful. Once we were underway and the sails raised, the crew broke out the drinks— beer, wine, prosecco, and cocktails were flowing for a reasonable cash price. The captain gave us history on Fort Adams and other landmarks. Although our cruise ended early because of rain, we all had a nice time. My only criticism is that the boat was crowded and could have been more comfortable if there were a fewer people on the boat.

  • 5Relaxing and great fun

    The weather was perfect and we really enjoyed interacting with the crew and the captain. Such fun watching them hoist the sails and then the quiet run when the wind caught the sails. I’d do it again!! Thanks for a great evening!

About Newport

Newport is a sailing town on Rhode Island's Aquidneck Island, known for Gilded Age mansions, a cliff walk, a tennis hall of fame and music festivals.

Newport sits at the southern end of Aquidneck Island, at the mouth of Narragansett Bay, and has been a port since colonial times. Its old streets hold Touro Synagogue, built in 1763 and the oldest surviving synagogue building in the United States, and the harbour is full of yachts; the America's Cup was raced off Newport for decades. Fort Adams, a large stone fort on the bay, guards the harbour.

Top-ranked sights in Newport: Fort Adams State Park, The Breakers, Marble House.
