    We had a wonderful sail with Lee and company! They made it fun! It was a beautiful afternoon! My husband and I were celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary in Newport so we came with our 2 daughters, mom and cousin. The captain and crew were great! Definitely worth recommending to friends and family visiting Newport. The price is affordable and drinks on board were reasonable!

    This may be the best sailing trip of my life! The 1.5 hours was over so quickly. We drove up from New Jersey the same day as our 4:30pm sail. I don’t recommend that. We called ahead to say that we were running late, but we would get there. We were directed to park in a nearby lot. Luckily there was plenty of free parking, but we relied on the guidance / instructions in the reservation to locate the correct stone path, flag pole, and green awning we needed to reach. We were running like a scene out of Amazing Race to make it. I called the office a few times. The second d call, after having been directed where to park, I hung up as we had thought we made it, but were misguided by a passenger disembarking a nearby boat tour. We got to the launch and saw the stairs taken away. We begged and the guys running the boat didn’t mind at all that we boarded at the very last second. While on board we were offered a section of beers, wines, and seltzers for $6/$7. This was cash only! Luckily one of us thought to bring cash on the tour. At the start of the sail we got to see the crew raise and lower the sails. I didn’t know how drastic the angle the boat would lean with the sail open. The day was beautiful and we were skimming the water. As we left the bay and were provided with libations, the members of the crew came around and started chatting with all of us. Hunter was exceptionally kind. He shared that he had been boating from a very young age and they go out about 5 times a day during the Summer trips. He also gave us some dinner recommendations, which we were thankful to have considering we’d be hungry after our sail. Each of the members of the staff worked so efficiently together and kept all of the members on board entertained. Unlike more classic tours, there is nobody projecting over a megaphone facts on history. Rather each member came around and started up conversations and answered any questions those of us on board had asked. We booked this trip about a week in advance. The later slots fill up quickly. This really was such a special experience. I do recommend a sail if it’s your first time in Newport!
