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!

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.

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
