Visiting friends were enchanted

This is a great way to showcase every thing that makes Rhode Island special and Newport a one-of-a-kind locale. Our crew was very informative about the landmarks; several guests were able to try their hand as the helm; and there's nothing like experiencing Rhode Island from the water. My friends wanted to chart the sailboat for the day!

A Fantastic Experience
Sat, Jul 29, 06   5:00 PM JOANNE1 Female 30-39 Local Unspecified
The ship was beautiful but the crew was amazing! We had a wonderful young lad who was working the jib sheet and giving us a full lesson in Newport's fine history! Couple all of that with the beer and wine and you have a perfect evening!

A little dull, Not a good day for sailing I guess
Sat, Aug 5, 06   11:00 AM omate01 Female 40-49 Local Family Without Children
We bought the tickets in advance which I guess I would not do again. The forcast was for a beautiful day which it was. However, there was no wind. We got part way out with the sails but then we just sat for a while not moving at all. Finally the motor was needed to troll us around and back to the dock. I have to say it was disappointing and not really worth what we had paid. Speaking of payment, the internet add said that you got a free soft drink withthe trip but then we were charged extra for it on the boat. I know it's not a lot a money but when advertised as free and then to be charged is a put off. The boat was very nice and the crew was friendly but the experience fell quite short of what we had hoped for. I think when the sail is not very good the passengers should be given the opportunity to sail again sometime for free or at least at a 50% discount. sometime wintin a year.

A "Must-Do" in Newport
Sat, Aug 5, 06   7:00 PM JacquieW Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We thoroughly enjoyed our sunset sail on the Adirondack II - we found the crew to be courteous, extremely knowlegable and they were able to get their safety messages across without changing the "mood"...that is a real plus! The only drawback to the entire experience was the "eau du dumpster" smell upon embarkation and disembarkation...that, and the fact that we could have stayed out for hours! Thanks.

I took the three people who work for me and their families on an afternoon sail and we all had a wonderful time. The captain and crew were very friendly and provided wonderful service. I would highly recommend the experience!

A great afternoon on the bay!
Mon, Sep 4, 06   3:00 PM texasags96 Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
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.

Bit pricey, but cheaper than owning your own boat
Fri, Sep 22, 06   3:00 PM twolfskehl Male 30-39 Local Family With Children
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.
