| The entire sailing experience, from boarding to docking, was simply beautiful. We were fortunate enough to be able to view not only the masive mansions and their lush gardens, but also the towering masts of the Tall Ships sailing by! The crew was friendly, imformative and very entertaining! We have visited Newport many times prior to our most recent trip without ever getting on the water. In the future, we won't leave Newport without going sailing! |

| We really enjoyed this trip, even if there was no sunset or wind we had a nice time, the captain was very funny and explained very well what we were watching and all that. I totally recommend this sailing trip. |

| It was my 25th wedding anniversary and I surprised my wife with the sail. She loved it and the Captain and crew were very helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoyed it and maybe go on my 26th. |

| As far as the boat and crew I was very happy but I wasn't happy with the fact that there was a roudy bunch of adults that came on board at the last minute and were loud during the whole cruse. You could tell they had been drinking and kept drinking while on board, they were so loud you would have thought they were the only ones on the ship. My family and I were uncomfortable and I don't know if we would take another curse. |

Bit pricey, but cheaper than owning your own boat

| The crew was knowlegeable, friendly and fun to be around. The ship is safe as can be and takes to the sea just fine. There's nothing like being on the water in Newport. Don't visit the town without sailing Narragansett Bay.
It would have been good to do a harbor burn (where you sail in and out of the mooring field in the inner harbor) but perhaps that's asking a bit much. Overall, it's worthy. |

| My first time on any sailboat was aboard the Adirondack II. The crew was friendly, the boat was comfortable, and the dollar drinks were great. I was let down by the fact we did not do more sailing. We sailed out and watched the sunset, but after the sunset, the engine was turned on and we motored back to the dock. It would have been great if we had sailed under the Newport bridge or even sailed a little faster. |

| We really enjoyed our sailing trip on the Adirondack II-- the currents were too strong to get us out to the Castle Hill lighthouse, though. The crew was very friendly- even got my daughter a snack when she was "starving" and let her have a turn at the wheel. I only wish there had been a little more commentary on the various sights. The captain seemed very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, but it would have been nice for the information to be volunteered. |

| I brought a group of friends from Upstate NY on the Sunset Sail. Everyone had such a good time sharing stories and learning a bit about Newport history. The captain and his crew are commended for their efficiency, sailing skills, knowledge of the Newport Harbor and their humor! Don't miss out on an enjoyable venture. ; ) |

| This was one of the highlighted activities of our Newport trip! We definitely recommend it, expecially the sunset cruise! |
