My boyfriend and I took this cruise on our weekend getaway to Newport! I would have to say out of all the activities we did in Newport that weekend, this was by far my favorite!! It's almost a 2 hour cruise, and definitely worth the money! The view is amazing (obviously) ... also, complimentary champagne and beer on board is... More

We spent an hour and a half aboard the 80ft schooner on their Afternoon sail. They do not serve food but you can bring your own if you want. I had snacks for our little one. They offer beverages, soda, water, beer,wine. The crew was great along with Sam who sold us our tickets. She was friendly and knowledgeable not... More

I make it a point of going on their sails each time I'm in Newport-- it's become a family tradition! It's a wonderfully relaxing cruise and regardless of how stressed out you may be, you'll feel super relaxed at the end of your sail.

Have to take a sail and enjoy the Newport's ocean cruises! Great crew and comfortable boat. Reasonable rates as well! We go on this particular schooner every year!

I had to book this in advance of our vacation to secure a spot for my boyfriend and I, and unfortunately when it came time to go, it was almost rained out! Luckily we were able to sail around Newport Harbor for at least an hour before it started to rain & we had a great time.

Took my mom and another out-of-towner guest on the "dark and stormy" cruise, which is the cruise before the final sunset cruise of the day. It was perfect, a bit warmer than the sunset cruise and you get great light for photos of the harbor, Fort Adams, etc as you sail in and out of the bay. The Dark and... More

We sailed on a gloomy, overcast, thick night -- and the deck hands made us feel it was sunny and glorious. They supplied blankets to sit on/wrap up in ... after they filled glasses with sparkling wine. We brought our own -- which was perfectly okay. They were full of knowledge and really made the experience. Wonderful photographers, too!

There was nothing to dislike about this afternoon sail in the harbour. Staff knew exactly what to do. Captain (a lovely young woman) used the motor as little as possible biut Newport Harbour was hosting a Boat Show that weekend and the harbour busier than usual,I suppose. Well worth the cost!

Honestly, a totally amazing evening! We had a gorgeous sunset and the tour was lovely! The staff were really friendly and helpful, the journey was comfortable and the sights were stunning. If you can do this and the weather is suitable, you'll have a fab time! Suitable for locals and tourists!

Although our trip was pretty rough, we left the harbor nonetheless, and everyone remained in good cheer despite some sea spray soaking us. The view from the water is totally different from that while driving, and the fresh perspective helps remind visitors that Newport is first and foremost a seaport. Captain and drew were lots of fun and made the... More
