| Friendly, capable crew and a great sail in a historic boat around Newport Harbor. The boat heels quite a bit in the wind, so don't bring a lot of loose stuff with you. |

Enjoyable & relaxing

| This was a birthday gift for a friend who has always enjoyed sailing. However, it was my first time on a sailboat and we both had a great time. The crew was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun. It was both educational and exciting. We would both do this this again in the future without giving it a second thought! |

| Appropriate for experienced sailor and non-sailor alike. Great wind, great sail, great views, great crew! Very peaceful and a wonderful way to see the other side of Newport: the harbor, the coastline, and lower Narragansett Bay. I would recommend it to both local Rhode Islanders (especially non-boaters) and visitors alike - a few tranquil minutes out of the day and a multitude of images and memories. |

| Had a nice time with my wife this week on the Adirondack II. The ship is amazing and the Capt. and Crew were great. Drinks were available as well as blankets if it got cool out. Would definately recommend as a must-do activity when in Newport. |

| My husband and I both enjoyed the sail very much. The views were beautiful. The captain was very professional in his handling of the boat, and provided just enough detail about the scenery - - enough so we appreciated the history, but not so much that he was talking the entire time. Part of the great thing about the sail, in our opinion, was to hear the wind and water, which you wouldn't have been able to appreciate if someone was jabbering the whole time. The crew of two young men was polite and attentive to our refreshment needs. The boat was very nice, as well - - we chose this boat over others because the seating appeared to be more comfortable. Rather than sitting on the cabin roofs in the middle of the boat, as many of the other sailing ships required, this boat had built-in seats around the edge of the boat. We had a great time, and would enthusiastically recommend this sail to others. |

| If you want fun, sun and excitement and a local trip during these summer months of the gas crunch. Motor down to Newport and take a quiet restfull sailing trip. If you are fortunate enough to steer this majistic 80 foot plus sailing vessel, then all the better. The captin and crew are also great tour guides. And forget bringing the water and drinks, you will not be ripped off. Beer and red and white wine are a buck each.
And at the end of the trip, have a great dinner or lunch right on the water. We did and loved every moment of it. |

| My daughters and I went as the result tickets for four given to me as a Christmas gift . We had a perfect day weather-wise, and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the sail. The crew was great -- some of us took turns steering the boat. We enjoyed a glass of wine aboard, at the cost of $1.00 per glass. We were given a casual commentary of the various sights we observed..
I had no problem whatsoever booking the tickets online, which was an added bonus. In fact, a larger group of family members plan to return for another sail in August. |

| We took my husband's father and step mother on Father's Day weekend and had a wonderful time. The crew and captain were awesome. They were knowledgeable of the history of the harbor and surrounding areas and shared with the group. In fact we have plans to book another trip when my sister and good friend come in from New Orleans for the 4th of July week. |

| A wonderful escape from the onshore heat. The Captain and crew were competent, friendly and informative. Even though we're local, we learned some things about Newport and its history that we never knew before. We enjoyed a wonderful one and one half hours on the water on a beautiful day , with sunny skies and refreshing breezes. The sail was all that was promised and more. We'd do it again in a heartbeat! |
