I was part of a crew that shot a commercial for the Adirondack II about ten years ago. As we were shooting the commercial, we were able to ride twice, during the day and at night. Ever since, I have been raving to everyone about how great it is! I finally got to take it again this week with my husband, who had never been on. We both had a wonderful experience on the sunset cruise. We ate a light dinner at 22 Bowen's (right next door to the ship) right before boarding, then took in the beautiful scenery. It is a nice way to see the harbor. I highly recommend this for tourists and residents alike! Take your out of town guests, they won't be disappointed. |

We thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cruise on Adirondac II. It was the highlight of our trip to Newport. The weather was nice, sunset was fabulous, and the champagne chilled perfectly.The crew was knowledgable of the passing scenery and offered local trivia as well. I will highly recommend your services! |

Our experience on the Adirondack II was amazing. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was beautiful and the views of the sunset were stunning. Upon exiting the boat, we were ready to book our next cruise!! A perfect way to take in the beauty of Newport. |

A great sail boat and crew. It was conducive for sitting or standing. Kids got to steer the boat, which made it more memorable and enjoyable for them. Adults could relax and enjoy the scenery. It also helps when you have great weather…some wind and sun. I would recommend it to anyone. Newport is a great little town and a great place to sail around. |

A great time for friends, families or couples. I recommend this trip if you want a relaxing trip with great views of the harbor/mansions and boats. I do not recommend this if you are looking for a boating excursion filled with commentary and history of Newport. |

A wonderful intergeneration activity for us all |

John and I always encourage company and visitors to go sailing while in Newport. The sunset sail brought back fond memories for my sister in law. To our surprise, this was a first time experience for our grown children. My brother in law had a positive sailing experience- his first! We spent the following evening viewing the pictures on our laptop. You could say that we enjoyed the sunset sail twice as much as expected. Thank you for a great family experience. |

Disapointed! |

My husband, mother and my teenage daughter and I chose to take a sunset sail
on board the Adirondack II. The boat was beautiful and the crew were nice
and helpful. I was slightly disappointed with the course we took as I felt we
did nothing more than sail back and forth from Fort Adams to the Newport
Bridge. My family and I envisioned a peaceful, quiet sunset sail and got nothing of the sort. Just before we were to set sail the captain announced that we were waiting for a few more guests who had purchased tickets but were late. A few minutes later 3 very noisy people boarded. One of the woman (once they were done laughing and talking very loudly) annouced that we should all sing happy birthday to her husband once he arrived on the boat as it was his 40th birthday. The rest of the passengers
just kind of looked at her as it was apparent that she had been drinking heavily.
A few minutes later the other 7 members of their party arrived even louder and
more boisterous than the first. The 10 member party spent the entire sail
yelling, laughing, drinking and just being downright obnoxious. It was awful.
The Captain never once asked them to be quiet or anything. They kept getting
in the way of the crew trying to raise and lower the sails. They had trays of
cheese, crackers and jam which they were passing around and which one of them ended up dumping on the deck of the boat. And somehow they found that amusing also.
We paid $148.00 to be totally annoyed for 1.5 hours. We were terribly disappointed and feel that we did not get what we paid for.
