The sail itself was fantastic, crew was great. The only issue this trip was a group of obnoxious women. who disregarded everyone around them and did not stop talking (or lowering their voices) when the crew was telling the boat stories of the area and what we were seeing. They were also very rude taking pictures if each other and not paying any attention the the actual sailing expetience.
Nice staff! Fun and informative outing to see the sights of Newport from the water side. Great for when friends visit from out of town.
This was so fun! We loved the experience and Hope, Miles and Tristan were great. Great way to See Newport!
I HAD SUCH A FUN SILLY TIME!!!!! The crew was so much fun and hilarious, shout out to HOPE<3, Myles (Captain🫡) and Tristan! The ride and the views were so amazing. Definitely would do this again.
Gorgeous day for a sail in Newport. Had a blast learning about some of the landmarks during the harbor tour. Really nice local crew. Sipping on a Whaler’s Rise was a plus.

Fun ride on a sailboat under full sail inside and outside the harbor! A fun, engaging, and informative crew added to the experience.
It was an amazing way to experience Newport and sailing together. The crew were increadibly kind and knowlegable. It was also a great way enjoy a nice breeze on a warm day.
