| This is the second time I went on the Adirondeck II. The captain is great as is the crew. You also get to take the helm for a few minutes.
The Bay and Ocean views are outstanding. The price is very reasonable for an hour and a half. Go....Preferably on a sunny day. |

| 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. |

| We don't live far from Newport and get down there a few times per year. We always wanted to try a harbor sail cruise and finally took the time to do so this past weekend. I can't say enough what a great experience it was. Booking it was easy, the crew was great, the price was reasonable, and the experience was a memory we'll never forget. The boat leaves from Bowen's wharf, motors out a couple minutes to get clear of other boats, and then sets sail. On our day the wind and sun were perfect, offering an exciting but stable ride. The crew provides stories about the local landmarks as you pass, and keeps the $1 drinks flowing if you'd like. Beer, wine, and soda are $1 and water is free. The sail is exciting, and for the very old and very young you'll want to caution them ahead of time on how to move around a boat under sail. The boat does heel 45 degrees or so when under sail, if you want things to be level (and boring) then a motorboat harbor cruise might be more your speed. If you are looking for an exciting and romantic adventure, then this is the trip for you. |

| Took cruise on Adirondack II with 2 boys, aged 9 and 11. The captain and crew were friendly, accommodating and kind. Captain and crew were knowledgeable about area and willingly shared all they knew. Captain interacted well with boys and gave them a lot of information about boats and sailing. They even got to steer! The 9 year old even wants to begin sailing lessons! The crew certainly took notice of all passengers and made every attempt to keep all engaged, comfortable and happy! If you want to cruise the harbor-consider the Adirondack II. |

| 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. |

| This was a great trip. The crew was fantastic- very pleasant, informative and entertaining. I have lived in this area for 10 years and still no little about the Newport Harbor and Narragansett bay landmarks- The crew was willing to provide many details and stories concerning the various sites. My mother, who is over 75 yrs of age and a little wary of boating , found the trip very comfortable. It was definitely thw highlight of our vacation week activities. Thanks |
