Nice except the fog

The boat was beautiful and the crew was delightful. My complaint is something that is out of their control, but the fog set in during our 1.5 hours, and we couldn't see much while we were sailing. Apparently they will sail under any conditions, except a lightning storm and heavy rain.

I took my friend out for a wonderful Newport Harbor sailing trip on the Adirondack II. The crew was fun and lively and filled with wonderful information on the area. A must see in Newport.

We went out on the Schooner Adirondack for the 1:00 sail. The bay was gorgeous, the boat was very clean, the staff were polite & helpful, and Coronas were a dollar!You can't ask for much more! They have great knowledge of the historic sights you will see, however it is not a narrative tour, you need to ask questions. I suggest asking questions because it really added to the experience. This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Newport!

My husband and I have never been on a sailboat and we really enjoyed ourselves. The captain was funny and the other sailors were very knowledgeable and answered any questions people had. I would do the tour again. I found it relaxing. $1 drinks were nice too.

A Fun Summer in one Day

The Adirondack II is a trim schooner that cuts through the waves in a thrilling ride. As we heeled I dipped my fingers in the sea spray. I was having the most fun of anything we did this summer. The crew was capable, helpful and unobtrusive. A few highlights were mentioned but not a narration. I liked the quiet.

Fantastic way to spend an afternoon!

My group had a wonderful time sailing with the knowledgeable and friendly crew. They even let us steer the boat, and that was nothing short of AMAZING!! I can't even begin to describe what a great time we all had at such an affordable price. Thank you for providing such an amazing experience that can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age. I know even someone who's already thinking of chartering for an upcoming event!

Perfect afternoon getaway!

I brought my two teenage daughters with me on this trip. They both enjoyed the sail around the harbor. The crew was enthusiastic, hardworking and professional. The captain gave us a commentary about the highlights of Newport including interesting facts. He was very informative without droning on. The sail is relaxing and the crew could not have been nicer. They asked about where we are from and if we enjoy sailing etc. The weather was ideal, sunny, high 70's and the 1 pm time is perfect, the wind had picked up just enough to make the ride smooth and easy. As everyone else mentioned, the $1 beer, wine & soda is a hit. The boat was clean and it left the dock on time as well as returned on time. I was very pleased with our experience and would recommend it to anyone especially beginners.
