We boarded the Madeline for the sunset cruise . Great fun , engaged crew. Everyone of them deserves a gratuity! Capt. Charlie encouraged me to take the helm which I did and it was great fun. A perfect way to end the day before a romantic dinner with the wife.
Super fun cruise!! Great day out on the water. Crew is awesome! Dress warm as the weather gets breezy.
This was the best boat ride! Champagne or beer included in our sunset cruise. The crew was very informative and funny at times. We called a couple other places and decided to walk the wharf. So great to get a last minute spot for 3 of us. Very picturesque!
My wife and I did the champagne sunset cruise and it was awesome! Everything was excellent including the reservation experience, follow up information regarding location, the boarding procedure, the ship, the crew and the sunset. The experience was 5 stars. We boarded at 6:30 pm and were sailing within 10 minutes after a short safety talk and explanation of the trip. While sailing, the crew members were friendly and accommodating, and provided champagne and beer, generously refilling! The sailboat sailed around the harbor an... read more
A must do! Parking isn't free so either take an Uber or pay for parking. Staff are knowledgeable and give you insight to some of the key spots along the way. The sailboat is immaculate and the onboard crew are friendly and answer all your questions. I suggest bringing your own favorite beverage but they do offer free bottled water. You can even take a snack or a sandwich with you. Bring sunscreen and a hat if necessary. Overall it was a great experience to sail around 12:30 PM to see some of the historic landmarks and learn ... read more
Stu and Hillary made this sailboat ride exceptional. Not only was the ride beautiful, smooth and amazing for a first time sailboat ride but they were the icing on the cake. Their personalities were refreshing, funny, and professional all in one especially Stu. I loved how he allowed my son to raise the sail and help dock the boat at the end. He engaged with Stu and learned a lot so much so that he wants to learn more about sailboats and handling them. The tidbits of information from the area and little facts were great! This... read more
Fantastic experience! Highly recommend this boat tour. I was able to book this tour months in advance. My husband and I had a blast with this tour. We took the morning glory sail and were able to start our day with a beautiful cruse through the Newport waterfront. The boat was large and accommodated a lot of people. So no worries for the boat to be crammed. The staff was amazing. They were very friendly and helpful. They provided us with history about the sights we saw and also provided great suggestions on what restaurants,... read more
One of my favorite experiences during our weekend trip to Newport! We went on the morning glory sail which included mimosas. If you are looking for the sunset cruise, book a few weeks early - they were sold out for the day we wanted but the morning cruise was great as well. It was a bit windy but we were very comfortable on the water temperature-wise even without jackets since it's summer. The crew was fantastic!
Stew, Anton, and Phil were AMAZING! Such a beautiful experience. Did the morning cruise and it was the perfect start to a beautiful day in Newport. Highly recommend! :)
