Had the In-laws in from the Mid-West and wanted them to experience Newport's famed sailing!. Schooner Aquidneck and her crew did not disappoint!! Nice breeze, ( SW I think..) and an awesome Captain (Isaac, if I remember) and crew. They did have other boats, but we missed their season. Really enjoyed the Schooner Aquidneck though. Highly recommend to anyone visiting... More

Wonderful sunset cruise on the schooner - there were only 8 people on board (near end of season on a sunny, late october day - the maximum could be 46 people!) - we had a good real sailing experience (good wind for sailing) and a nice crew also telling stuff about the sights

beautiful day and a beautiful sail around the bay. the crew provided a good narrative about the history of the area

Having experienced a very nice sail on the Adirondack II where fog rolled in (no fault of the crew), we decided to try again on another day of our stay in Newport. This time we boarded the Aquidneck. The crew was pleasant enough and the views of the bay are spectacular when the skies are clear on any of the... More

If you want to sail, MAKE SURE TO ASK IF THE CONDITIONS ARE OPTIMAL FOR SAILING. IF NOT, GET ON ANOTHER CHARTER because you will be doing the same - MOTORING!!! WE NEVER SAILED. When we purchased the tickets they did not warn us that we may not be sailing. When I complained afterwards, they would not compensate us in... More
