Loved our time on the sunset cocktail cruise. They take you out to where the really, really, really big boats are. I would suggest sitting up front as close as possible so you can make sure you have first dibs at the drinks. Bathroom on board but you have to walk down some very narrow and steep steps to get to it. Cruise from start to finish (waiting in line to disembarking) is about 2 hours. Definitely worth it! Very reasonable prices for an activity like this in such a touristy place. 

Business response:

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the sunset cocktail cruise and the views of the big boats. We are happy to hear you found the experience a good value. Hope to have you back on board soon! Warmly, Newport Classic Cruises

The captain of the Madeline and the crew were very personable . They told great stories about the Newport area and were very knowledgeable about the surrounding boats that past us by . The Madeline was a beautiful sailboat and it is well taken care of . The price was right for this 1 and a half hour sail . We would definitely go again ! 

Business response:

Thank you for sailing with us on Schooner Madeleine! We take pride in providing the best experience for guests, and it looks like you were able to enjoy sailing in Narragansett Bay the right way! Newport's renowned for its sailing, and we're delighted you got to experience it firsthand. We hope to have you back on board for more sails in the future! Warmly, Newport Classic Cruises

Best day of the year to be on the water, and Newport Classic Cruises' "Rum Runner II" made it unforgettable! Sailing the day after Labor Day meant a light load, making it feel like our own private yacht. The calm waters and smooth sailing were perfect, and the crew did a fantastic job keeping us entertained. We enjoyed a mix of history, lighthouse views, the thrill of speed, and a little sea spray to keep things fun. Laughter filled the air--what more could you ask for? If you're looking for a great time in Newport, hop on t... read more

Our crew always strives to make each trip as fun and engaging as possible, so it’s fantastic to hear we hit the mark for you. We hope to welcome you back aboard soon!

You get great views of Newport while out on the water on this boat. The crew is very attentive and checks in on each guest at the start and midway through the tour. Overall, however, this tour was underwhelming. I expected to learn more about Newport and boating while onboard. It was peaceful but not as exciting as I had hoped. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the kind words about our crew and the beautiful Newport views! We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear the tour didn't fully meet your expectations. Our goal is to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but we understand that some guests might be looking for more detailed narration or excitement. We recommend the Rum Runner II for full narration on day trips. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future for a different type of adventure! Warmly, Newport Cl... read more
