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!
Business response:
We're glad we were your favorite experience on your weekend getaway. We've been here for 30 years and love giving guests a great time on the water. Between our 2 boats, we have 6 itineraries - you'l have to come back and try them all. :)

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
