We went on the Champagne Sunset Cruise on the Madeleine for our 42nd Anniversary. It was Fantastic !! Captain Dave and the Crew were Great !! The weather was beautiful and just windy enough to make the voyage enjoyably exciting. Captain Dave and the Crew piloted the ship skillfully while telling us interesting stories about Newport's history and also sharing their Nautical knowledge, all while making sure we had ample refreshments. The Sunset was beautiful !! We Highly Recommend Classic Cruises of Newport.

Beautiful wooden sailing ship - crew chat and explain what's in harbor, history on shores and about sailing. Had a great day of real sailing, not motor sailing, in harbor. We brought our lunches and they provided water or ginger ale. Friendly - great afternoon!

The cruise was very nice and had plenty of jaw dropping views. However, we did book the cocktail cruise and expected a cocktail. The rum punch they serve is just orange juice. I'd recommend a byob cruise

Fun filled day!! Great memories! If you check in using Yelp you will receive a discount per ticket! Crew was so friendly and informative. Can byob but no glass and in something you can hold on your lap. So glad the group we went with agreed to come! You really get to see the beauty of Newport from the water.

The boat is nice, the staff is friendly and they keep the drinks flowing. Those are the only 3 positives. There was no information given on any of the buildings, yachts or other landmarks that we passed by. No historical facts about the island, knowledge on the local marine life.. If you can down 8-10 beers in an hr than it's not to bad of a deal. Other than that. Ask around before hopping aboard.

Fantastic morning sail on the Madeleine recently. The day was perfect and our captain and crew were great. Provided a nice, informal tour of Newport from the water. Mimosas were plentiful. And it was overall, very enjoyable!
