A Lovely Evening
Sun, Aug 17, 08   7:00 PM plushplumb Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I took my dad for the sunset sail for his birthday. We had a great time. Perfect weather, great wind, great boat. Captain Andy and his crew were super nice and very knowledgeable. I brought some light snacks and we enjoyed some wine bought onboard. Highly recommend if your looking for something outdoors and laid back with a touch of adventure to it .

Perfect when the wind is right.

Delightful ride. Difficult to hear Captain tell about the things we were passing. Crew was lovely. Drinks a dollar and water free - can't beat that. Wish it was longer.

Nice sail; no information
Sun, Aug 17, 08   1:00 PM Shelleg Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The sailing part of the experience was fine. But we were expecting something of a guide of Newport harbor, with all its mansions and the fort and historic places. The skipper was the only one who said anything, but he said relatively little, and he spoke quietly, and no one further than ten feet from him could hear. If these are intended just for a sailing experience, that should be made more clear on your web site. If they are intended for some sort of "tour" or "local color" experience, then you should invest in a decent sound system so that the skipper can be heard throughout the boat.

Excellent way to see the area but too many people

It seemed a bit crowded to me. I would rather pay more and not fee so crowded. Great staff, beautiful boat, not much wind that night but still a good cruise. We brought chocolates to go with our champagne and the fabulous sunset.

Very Relaxing

The weather happened to be perfect - about 80 and sunny with a slight wind. When the boat left the dock the engines were on, but once we were out in the Sound it was just the sails guiding us through the water. It was extremely peaceful. A wonderful hour and a half. The Captain pointed out sites along the way. My husband and I loved it, although if the weather had been rough we probably would not have tried it.

Spectacular Sunset Sail!
Sat, Aug 9, 08   7:00 PM melgab77 Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
I received these tickets as a birthday gift...and this was one of my all time favorite birthday gifts! My husband and I set sail on a Saturday night...with perfect weather conditions, beautiful views, great sounds (we passed by the Jazz Festival - that was a treat!), an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable crew, and a spectacular sunset! On our sail, we passed by other boats, and they seemed a bit crowded. The Adironack II was not crowded at all though. We had plenty of space. We have some great pictures of the sights from the boat, the sails, and the sunset. I highly recommend this event to anyone - couples, families (with children, too), friends, visitors, and locals. This is also a great and original gift idea for those who are difficult to buy for. Also, the tickets were incredibly easy to redeem online. Overall a wonderful experience. Thank you!

The crew was very attentive. Nice touch to provide beverages (water free, beer and wine for a nominal charge - 1$), Well worth the price.

Fun time!

I drove in from NY and wanted to take my boyfriend out for a nice night. I am originally from RI so I knew these tours existed. I loved it and so did he. He enjoyed the fact that we could have a drink on the boat and that the cost was so cheap. I also have to say that the two girls and captain were very nice. It was a great way to see part of Newport.

Pick a day with good wind

The Aiderondeck II is an awesome vessel, especially if one has never been on a ship under sail which is over 90 feet in length. It is definitely inspiring to watch the crew go about their work as they maneuver in criss-crossing the Bay. (The beverage service was more than adequate with complimentary water and inexpensively-priced soft beverages and beers.) We purchased tickets online within 90 minutes of our sailing time, and the process was smooth with no glitches, hence, we actually could have chosen a better time-of-day to maximize the wind for sailing had we not been locked into that particular morning to take our guests out on a sight-seeing trip around the Newport Harbor. Unfortunately, we picked a day that delivered less than moderate winds, in fact, the skipper of the boat had to start the diesel engine while trolling back to the harbor just to overcome the effects of a slacking tide while still in the RI sound. Alas, that is the luck of the draw; nonetheless, it proved to be a most enjoyable cruise with a very knowledgeable skipper who was able to fill the time with informative stories and candid conversation.
