Sunset sail
Fri, Jul 20, 07   7:00 PM bobblais Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
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.

Weekend Vacation

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.

I took a group of 17 team members on the sail as part of our team bonding activities. The crew was very accomodating, the sail beautiful, and the level of customer service superb.

Great Family Activity

We went for a 1 1/2 hour daytime sail on the Schooner Adirondack II. We have three boys - ages 8, 6 & 3. My husband has done a lot of sailing in the past and wanted to introduce our boys to sailing. We all enjoyed it very much. It was great taking in all of the sights, including mansions in the distance. The crew was very professional and informative. They also joked with us and and made it a fun trip. Bottled water was included and tasted great in the hot sun. We would do it again if we were visiting 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!
Tue, Jul 3, 07   7:00 PM lmm092667 Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
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.

Dissatisfied
Tue, Jul 3, 07   7:00 PM verybusy45 Female 60-69 Local Family With Children
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.

Great views that locals often either take for granted or forget are so close to them. It was nice to say to that we live in such a beautiful state.

Lovely scenic sailing
Mon, Jul 2, 07   3:00 PM angelamarcom Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We sailed on a day cruise. It was scenic, relaxing and enjoyable. Our two year old daughter was with us and she had a nice time as well. The captain was excellent and handled the ship with ease. The sailing was smooth. Several points of interest were easily seen on the cruise and I would definately recommend it.

Family of 4 Cruised - Pros' and Con's
Mon, Jul 2, 07   3:00 PM emily2000 Male 30-39 Local Family With Children
:-) Pro's - We loved the cruise. The kids were able to drive the boat. It was a highlight for them. There were only 5 kids on board. It left promptly, be there on time. The crew were very helpful and courtious. Water was complimentary. Cons - We couldn't hear the captain. We missed a lot of history and info. We sat in the middle of the boat. Be sure to get there eaIrly and sit very close to the captain. The boat did not have any music on board. If you can't hear the captain anyway some music would have been enjoyable. :-)
