Always an amazing experience!! My husband and I were married on the Madeleine and love to go for a sail when we visit Newport! The crew is always welcoming and have a ton of local knowledge! We can't wait to go back!

This was well worth the price of admission. The crew was great. Well versed in safety, hospitality and the art&science of sailing. The exceptional crew made the cruise very enjoyable even for the land lovers who accompanied us on the voyage. We were even taught the correct pronunciation of nautical weather terms including "sauna"

What a great day! The wind was just right and we sailed!!! Loved the crew. They knew so much and had a great mix of humor while allowing the guests to enjoy each other and see the sights. Plenty to see and learn, but also a feel of being free to relax and just enjoy. We would sail again!!!!

One of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had. After having previously gone on the rum runner, I thought this would be a phenomenal sunset sail for my grandparents who were in town for the night...made reservations over the phone for the sunset tour...get there over a half hour early to board the boat and they claim we never made reservations and continued to argue that I may have called the wrong place when reserving...even after showing them the number in my phone (we also live in Newport, we know who we're deali... read more

James, Carly and Captain Jeff were an awesome crew! They served ample beer & champagne to everyone while also providing us with entertainment and fabulous conversation. Their lively and fun personalities positively contributed to our bachelorette party sunset sail!

I have never been more appalled at the quality of customer service. We booked a sunset sail for a bachelorette party, it was the bride's ONE request for the weekend. The woman who handled our booking told us the wrong time of departure. When we arrived we watched the boat taking off (they wouldn't hold it for us when they saw we were there). When we spoke with the manager about what to do, she insinuated we lied about the information we were given, would not issue us a refund, and continued to speak to is in a condescending ... read more

Don't miss this if you're visiting Newport. The crew is really friendly and knowledgeable, the boat is beautiful and the ride is incredible. Bring a camera, and dress warmly. You'll have a great time.

We had a great time sailing on the Madeleine. Although it was June it was a chilly day to begin with and was freezing on the boat-the boat does have blankets but they weren't enough to keep me warm. Just keep that in mind for future voyages. I would definitely have enjoyed it more. Complimentary beverages like water and iced tea are supposed to be included but the staff didn't hand them out. The crew was friendly. This was a sail, not a tour so don't expect much instructions/directions/tips on what you pass or see. I would d... read more
