Beautiful Boat
Sun, Jul 1, 07   6:00 PM traceysl Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We great weather and that certainly helped. The boat was beautifully appointed and spacious. The crew was delightful, attentive and pleasant. Captain Andy was knowledgeable and confident. This was a splendid outing and great way to get to know the town of Newport.

Had a really great time!!

This was a very nice trip, we really enjoyed the ride. We took a trip during the tall ships festival, which made it even more interesting to see the harbor. I recommend sitting close to the Captain steering the ship, he was very knowledgeable and had some really interesting facts about the area and attractions. It does cost a decent amount for just an hour and a half, but for someone visiting or just a nice time to sail around it is defiantly worth it.

More information about Newport and the sites

Generally it was a very enjoyable sail. It would have been nice if the crew described the sites and surroundings of Newport as we sailed past them. Thanks

Wonderful evening

I would and have recommended this to many friends. I will book another evening on the Adirondack II before summers end. Crew is extremely friendly and answered many questions while aboard.

What a great evening!!

This was one of the highlights of our trip, Captain Andy and his crew took care of us right from the beginning with sharing some stories about the area before we got the sails up. It was an awesome experience sailing around the harbor seeing things you can't see from land. I would highly reccomend this to anyone.

Not enough sailing
Sat, Jun 23, 07   7:00 PM ToneC01 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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.

Beautiful experience
Sat, Jun 23, 07   7:00 PM Wilmarth Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
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!

Very friendly crew
Fri, Jun 22, 07   3:15 PM lisajohnsono Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our sail was cancelled due to weather, but I have to say that everyone we dealt with -- the captain, crew and organizers -- were all extremely friendly about the situation and they were very good about communicating the options we had. I have been on the Adirondack II and her sister ship in NYC before and every time I am so pleased -- it's always a great time.

Not Very Entertaining
Fri, Jun 8, 07   7:00 PM Clorinsk Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The day of my sail happen to be so foggy that none of the beautiful Newport coast was visible. Instead, we were treated to a cold sail with no one even telling us what we were supposed to be seeing. The drinks were cheap, but other than that, we might as well been sitting on the boat in the harbor. The ride was smooth, but for about $40, treat yourself to a nice dinner instead. If its a sunny, warm day, it might be worth it, but I wouldn't know. That being said, if you are going, wait until Newport to buy tickets. If this one is sold out, simply hop on one of the other main boat tours around this one.

Happy sailing!
Sat, Jun 2, 07   7:00 PM gretamertz Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This was a nice experience! I think that the length of time spent on the water was just right. Although I had a good jacket on, it was still pretty chilly. The only thing that would've improved the sail was a better sunset; it was cloudy on the day that we went, which couldn't really have been helped. Beautiful boat. Very nice crew.

Fun Sail for All
Fri, Jun 1, 07   7:00 PM gaustria Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We were on a four-day weekend trip and and decided to buy tickets online for a sail at 7:00 PM that Friday evening. However, a thunderstorm formed that afternoon. We were disappointed but greatful when the crew decided to cancel the 7:00 sail because of the threat of high winds and rain. They gave us a refund and we tried the following afternoon. We had no trouble getting tickets around thirty minutes before the 1:00 PM sail on the next day which was weather perfect. My wife and I and about fifteen others came on board. The young crew, consisting of two girls and one young helmsman, was very competent and very friendly. Beer and softdrinks were available for a dollar. After a while, the young helmsman allowed a few passengers including myself to take the helm and steer the boat for a few minutes at a time. All in all, a great time out on the bay and we took some great pictures. The sail lasted about one and a half hours and in my opinion well worth the price. I would certainly recommend it to any visitor to Newport.

Not what I expected
Sat, May 26, 07   7:00 PM KipFisher Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We took the sunset sail on Saturday, May 26. It started out with the boat ride starting about 25 minutes; which wasn't a big to us since we ate dinner before the ride, but we met people who had a reservation after the ride. The boat was packed, with people even sitting on the middle part of the boat, as opposed to the benches on the sides. We went into the ride thinking that the drinks were complimentary (which is what it said on our reservations), but they were actually a dollar each. One of the crew members didn't know if Merlot was a red or a white wine...yikes! We enjoyed chatting with the people on the boat, and actually met people who we hung out with later in our weekend in Newport. The four of us chatted and all had the expectation that the sail would take us by interesting things and they would talk about them a little, neither of which happened. If you go on the Adirondack, realize that it will be crowded, you will pay for drinks and you will simply sail around the open water for 90 minutes.
