Reviews
"What an awesome time my boyfriend and I had on this sailing adventure! We went on a morning Mimosa sail late in October and it was so much fun! The crew told us lots of history about the sights we saw around Newport - these included Jackie Kennedy’s childhood home, the famous ‘House on the Rock’, and Fort Adams. The mimosas were pretty much bottomless - and delicious! The ride was extremely smooth and calming. I tend to get motion sick and this didn’t bother me at all! Super fun and totally worth every penny. Make sure to bring a few dollars in cash to tip the crew at the end!"
"We did the sunset sail with aquidneck and it was a great experience. The whole crew was awesome and they were very knowledgeable of the history of Newport and it's surrounding houses. 10/10 would recommend the sunset sail. It was a stunning time of day."
"We took a harbor tour on their beautiful sailboat! It was very impressive! It was my birthday and we were on a Rhode Island vacation. Perfect! A crew of 3 handled the boat expertly."
"There are a bunch of boat tours in Newport, but I highly recommend these guys! Great customer service; we accidentally booked a tour the week prior to our trip and they fit us onto a different boat during our stay in Newport. Their hospitality on the boat is great. Good conversationalists, super knowledgable locals, and have connections if you're looking for recommendations in other harbors. All around exactly what you'd like out of a sightseeing company."
"We sailed with Sarah yesterday for a private afternoon charter and it was incredible! It was our first time doing this. She made our experience amazing and she was so knowledgeable + made us feel so welcome! It’s great to see someone who you can genuinely see they love what they do! From the check- in process, start to finish, everyone was so nice! We can’t wait to go again!"
