| I highly recommend this trip. My Mother (age 72) and my aunts (ages 71 and 66) recently visited from IL and this was their first trip on a sail boat. They absolutely loved it and have been raving about the trip ever since.
The weather didn't cooperate (we had light rain) but it didn't dampen our fun. The crew could not have been nicer and were a wealth of knowledge about the area. My Mom and Aunts asked lots of questions, and the crew seemed delighted to have the interaction with their guests. The crew was also well prepared for the rain with complementary rain slickers for each of us.
I was a little concerned if this trip would be appropriate for an elderly person but it worked out very well and a great trip for all ages. |

| My wife and I took the 3pm tour on a sweltering day (it was 15 degrees cooler on the water). Our sail on the Schooner Adirondack II was hands-down the best part of our trip! Neither of us had been sailing before, and the 1.5 hour tour gave us both the sailing bug. There was some good wind on the water which made for a fun, zippy sail--but not at all rough. We both got the chance to steer the boat which is a must if you get the chance. We only had about 15-20 people on our sail so several of us got the chance. The captain and crew were all extremely friendly, funny and knowledgeable. You could tell that they all loved what they did.
Not only is a sail on the Adirondack II a must-do when in Newport, you will also find it a best-buy. |

| My husband and I along with our two teenagers enjoyed our afternoon sail. It was a picture perfect day in Newport and a great way to see the harbor and enjoy the peacefulness of being out on the water. The crew was very engaged with the passengers, knowledgeable about the sights and very pleasant. |

| The Captain was teriific and very experienced with sailing. His crew was professional and accomodating to the passengers. We had a wonderful time and plan another Adirondack sailing Labor Day weekend. |

| My husband and I were looking forward to this because it had very high reviews. However, the sailboat was overcrowded. Too many tickets were sold so it was hard to find a seat and move around during the sail. The sailing route was not very good either. Rather than going around the whole bay we sailed one way and we sailed back the same way. I didn't want to see the same thing! |

| Went out with Captain Chris. He was funny and informative. It was a hot and cloudy day and the breeze was terrific. My husband and I enjoyed hearing the history of the various properties we passed.. Loved it! |
