Had blast on a midday sail this weekend. It definitely was chilly while in the water, so come prepared! But, the boat has blankets in case you think you dressed warmly enough, but really didn't. Captain Dave was great! He sailed, pointed out landmarks, and answered question about the island that we had. Our sail was probably a little different than most because we were around during the Volvo race, so the area was concentrated and there was a party going on at the Fort. Anyway - take the tour! If you happen to do the day-ti... read more
Excellent value ($30/person) and great tour of the bay. The tour is 90 minutes, and if you get a windy day like we did, you get the real sailing experience. The crew members were very knowledgeable and friendly. The boats holds 40 passengers, and it is big enough to seat everybody comfortably. Highly recommend this tour company and their day sail tour.
Beautiful Schooner...well kept with a friendly crew of 3. The sunset sail at 6:30PM was packed. Everyone had a good seat as we departed for the bay. The views of the bay, Newport and Jamestown are superb. Champagne, beer, soda and water flowed non stop...they did a great job making sure no one was thirsty. The crew was very good about pointing out landmarks and special points of interest. For $40pp...this was a great experience. Recommended !!
Booked a Sunset Sail in advance and the day was very foggy and cool out as a warm front was moving in. We went down early to check to see if they were going to sail as conditions were not improving and they said they "without a doubt!" I was still skeptical after talking to them around 4PM and my doubts were confirmed when we arrived for the 6:15PM boarding time.... The captain announces there are two problems one being him drinking a beer and two being the fog. Yes i get the joke and probably wouldve been funny if they were... read more
We had a great time on the Madeleine. The staff on the boat were great - really friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. They gave a great tour and made the whole experience fun for everyone. I definitely recommend it!
My husband and I went on a 10:30 cruise in August 5th and had a blast. The crew Katie, Green, and Jackson were awesome. The entire experience was my favorite part of our vacation. I highly recommend everyone taking this trip when they are in Newport.
We hopped aboard the Madeleine for the 4:30 America's Cup Harbor Cruise and it was fantastic. The trip itself is beautiful and you get great views of Castle Hill Inn, Ocean Cliff, Jamestown and more. They day we sailed, the harbor was full of America's Cup boats and it was great to be so close to the boats. I will warn, the day we cruised, it was definitely active sailing and required some pretty physical bracing of your body so you didn't go flying overboard. I wouldn't recommend for small children who can't hold their own ... read more
I contacted Rum Runner/Classic Cruises of Newport looking to purchase 2 evening cruise tickets as a 65th birthday gift. Because it's September and the recipient would be traveling for much of the month (and tours wind down in September), I decided to look into purchasing a gift certificate in the amount of two tickets that he could use for an evening cruise next year. I was pleased to see that their website offered a gift certificate option and called their office to purchase. I was greeted by a young girl that spoke very ... read more
We did the sunset cruise this past weekend and had a blast! The crew was extremely helpful and personable and they were not shy with the beverages! We ended up going out longer than the 90 minutes as there was not much wind, and while we didn't see a whole lot of Newport harbor and the surrounding area. . we had a blast.
