Boat was lovely, just the right size to be very comfortable, crew was professional and friendly, so easy to board boat right at Bowen’s Wharf, went far out into Newport Harbor, Will definitely do this again!
This was great! Captain Kira, Savannah, and Lee made for a splendid crew. Our cruise was amiable, the beverage service delightful, and the views and just being on the water was wonderful. We highly recommend this for anyone visiting Newport.

We sailed on the Madeline. Captain Elise was excellent as was her crew. It was a smooth enjoyable ride. The smaller boat was more intimate and allowed for great interaction. We got to hear the music from the Jazz Festival, saw the Coast Guard training ship and learned about the bay all while enjoying a great sunset.

We had a great time. You are mostly just sitting and looking around. It’s an enjoyable experience. We happened to have one of the sailors who knew a lot of history, so he shared a lot with a group who asked and I listened in. Even if we didn’t have that, it would’ve been a very relaxing ride. Given that it’s a sunset tour, there were a lot of people getting up and taking pictures with the sunset. Wasn’t a problem for us, but my guess is that’s normal. It was a pretty full group, so you either had to sit on the edge and turn your head or sit in the center and potentially have your view blocked by others. We sat on the edge, but it worked out fine. The trip is smooth and so gorgeous. You cannot beat that sunset, plus you’re seeing all sort of beautiful scenery and homes. There are drinks available. We bought drink tickets when we checked in so we wouldn't have to pay with cash on the boat itself. They had a wine, beer, and hard seltzer, plus sodas and such. It took a minute to get the drinks since they had to serve everyone one-by-one, but you really don’t have to wait long. Also, I think they’ll let you hold the steering wheel a bit if you ask! This was a wonderful, relaxing sailing trip. They’re not going to do a guided narration, but that’s not what we were looking for. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing day on the Madeline! The crew of 4 was young and fun and very competent. We were so glad we booked a smaller boat, we were able to relax and enjoy being with our friend group and not packed in next to others.

Our family had a wonderful time aboard Madeline. The crew was fantastic. They handled the sailing perfectly. Savanna and Hunter gave us lots of history of the area. We loved Savanna's mime of being knocked overboard by the jib boom during the security briefing. We actually sailed 90% of the time. It got cold with the wind so bring a jacket. The crew gave us a light blanket which helped

The sailing experience was just wonderful. The staff were professional and experienced. The vessel itself was charming. I felt we were in good hands with the female captain who gave a beautiful tour of the harbor.
