Great staff - on time easy process to purchase and day of. They even had blankets for us on the sunset cruise. Loved it! The sails were up and smooth sailing- overall recommend.
Stuart was amazing! It was chilly but the crew provided blankets and drinks to warm us up!
We had a great time on the Adirondack II's first sunset sail of the season! Captain Elyse gave us just enough expertly-staged drama to know we were on a schooner, and mates Kiera and Lee took care of their captain's and our every need with energy, grace, humor, and steady sea legs. After breaking out the beer and cocktails, they provided blankets just when the spring chill was starting to bite. We will be back for another trip.
The captain and his mate were incredible! Great trip, I highly suggest. You will see lighthouses mansions and rea nice boats.
My mom and I did a sunset tour when we visited in August. We sailed on the Adirondack, which was perfect since that's the area we were visiting from! My mom was very nervous about a sailboat but once she saw how gorgeous it was and met our friendly captain, Ben- she was able to totally relax and enjoy. We sat near the captain and he answered all of our questions. This is not a narrated tour, which made it nice to just enjoy the scenic views. Drinks were available for purchase but this was a calm and quiet type activity, not ... read more
We ventured out on the Madeleine. The sailboat is beautiful and clean. We were impressed with the crew. Stu and Nolan were entertaining and accommodating. The captain, Phil, gave us a great ride! It was a perfect short cruise ( 90 minutes ) but a perfect length in my opinion. I would recommend going early as there are fewer people on the boat. Really great experience!
Really fun experience!! We decided to take a sailboat sunset cruise in Newport! We went with the 7 pm (90 min) cruise, so that we would still be out on the water during sunset (the neighboring cruise company had a sunset cruise at 6:30 pm, which would be "on the way back" during sunset). The weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, and the waters were calm. Charlie & Cammie were part of the crew on the boat with us, and both were very friendly and made the sail great!! Drinks are available on board, if you didn't buy dri... read more
I prebooked a reservation for a 7:00 sunset cruise. I arrived at the dock at 6:40 and waited in the line that was in front of the booth for check in. When I checked in by showing my QR code and confirmation email, I was told that my cruise ship was not yet boarding, that this was the earlier ship, and to step to the side and wait for the 7:00 boarding. Once the next cruise was boarding and I went to check in again, I was then told my cruise had already left and I was in the wrong line and there was nothing I could do but lea... read more
We took Madeline for a sunset cruise. We lucked out and had perfect weather. It was beautiful, peaceful and romantic. You were able to purchase drinks if you'd like and they were reasonably priced. In the past, we also did the rum runner and the Aquidneck cruise with champagne. Those cruises were amazing as well!
