| As a tourist I would have liked to have an introduction to the area and the places that we saw on the sail. The staff was polite and knowledgable when asked, but were not forthcoming with any interesting information about Newport or sailing that gave the trip any educational value. |

| Captain was knowlegable and crew friendly and hard working. The boat is beautiful and kept clean.
The only disturbing part of an otherwise relaxing sail was a group of 11 that made way too much noise. It made it hard for us to hear the captain tell about the boat, Newport and its attractions. Maybe groups that large should have to charter a private sail? |

A great time!

| Would definitely do again...what a lovely way to see the area. Watching the crew handle the sails was very interesting. Drinks offered onboard are very reasonably priced. Would really like it if a crewmember wore a microphone and identified things we passed - we didn't always know what we were looking at. |

| The staff was very accomodating and friendly. The sailboat was clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend this activity to others visiting the Newport area. This excursion is ranked highly on our list of things to do and if given the opportunity would sail again. The price was also very reasonable.

| The Sail on the Adirondack II was the best sail we have been privileged to take. The scenery was beautiful, the explanation of various sites were very informative, the crew was professional and courteous, and the boat was very smooth in the water. The purchased beverages on board were the best deal I have ever experienced, short of being free. Overall, I would enthusiatically recommend this sail to anyone that enjoys a great sailboat trip.

| First time in Newport and it was my brother-in - law's birthday and I wanted to do something special. Since he loves boats and all of us wanted to sail in Newport I decided to book the 4 of us for your sunset cruise. Unfortunately, it was raining and your representative Audrey callled and asked us if we would like to reschedule and we decided on your 3Pm sail. She was very accommodating.
Actually, it was a better choice for us as we toured 2 mansions and our sail with Adirondack II was just the exhilarating experience we needed. The schooner is beautiful and your staff could not have been more gracious. My brother in law was asking the crew some questions and they were so knowledgeable and informative.
I would highly recommend the Adirondack II for a truly wonderful and stress free experience and of course my brother in law thinks I am great.!!! One of the highlights of our trip. Anticipating doing it again on my return trip next year. |

| After a rainy, windy morning in Newport, we anxiously waited for the weather to break. As the sun came out and the wind turned into a warm breeze, we boarded the Adirondack feeling hot and sticky. As soon as the motor of our ship was turned off and the third sail hoisted, we slid into the beautiful Naragansett Bay soundlessly. The breeze was refreshing and the sail absolutely perfect. The too short trip was interesting and relaxing. It was one of the hightlghts of our visit to Newport. |
