See What People Are Saying About Us

The cocktail was delicious.

"This was an awesome cruise. If you get the opportunity to take it, then by all means, do so, you won’t regret it. Very attentive staff. An overall wonderful experience. The cocktail [the one included with the Evening Cocktail Cruise ticket] was delicious." —Denise M., 2021 Google review (photo courtesy of S.J.)

Fun Way To See the Newport Shore

This is a great way to see the harbor and houses around Newport. We were worried about it being too cool this time of year, but there are enclosed areas and it wasn't an issue at all. You get a Mimosa in hand when you walk on board - great way to start! Narration was entertaining and informative. Recommend if you only have a short time in Newport to see the boats and lighthouses.—Wolfshadow, 2023 Trip Advisor review (photo courtesy of J. Giblin)

Sightsailing of Newport

Schooner Aquidneck

Sailing cruises aboard Aquidneck are often the highlight of a visit to Newport.  Aquidneck is a beautiful and comfortable schooner for a relaxing Newport sailing cruise.

Aquidneck is named after Aquidneck Island where Newport, Rhode Island is located, and is an Indian name meaning ‘Isle of peace’.

She is an elegant and accurate reproduction of a late 1800s coasting schooner that was built specifically to take guests sailing in safety and comfort.

Aquidneck was built on Long Island in Southampton, New York by a family who has been shipbuilding since the 1600s!

She is one of several schooners designed by world-famous naval architect Charles Wittholz whose plans are archived in Mystic Seaport.

Aquidneck has plenty of comfortable places to sit and spread out including teak benches with backrests,  chair-height cabin tops and deck boxes.  She has wide side decks making it easy for guests to get up, move about, take pictures, and socialize with ease.  Her layout enables one to easily look outboard to enjoy the sights as well as have a conversation.

Aquidneck’s traditional full keel design provides for a smooth and stable sailing experience.  Since you sail the protected waters of Narragansett Bay, queasiness is never an issue. As one of our regular guests commented, “She rides like a Cadillac!”

Sailors and non-sailors alike enjoy their sail on Aquidneck.  Guests may help raise sails, take the helm or sit back and relax. Sailing experience is not required!

Sail through Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay past all the famous sights including Fort Adams, Hammersmith Farm, Clingstone and Newport’s Ocean Drive.  Our captains and crew are knowledgeable about all the sights and will provide light, informative commentary.

We have blankets for cool evenings and light rain ponchos in the event of a passing shower.

For private charters, we have a large, elegant, mahogany table that holds caterer platters, as well as several Igloo coolers to hold beer, wine or champagne. There is a stereo system with an iPod interface.  For private charter food and drink suggestions,  see the Food and Drink section in our FAQ .

Aquidneck sails morning, afternoon, and at sunset,  seven days a week.  Start your day with a  Morning Mimosa Sail or join us for a Classic Afternoon Cruise or Champagne Sunset Sail . Sails are approximately one hour and forty minutes.

"Beautiful boat, friendly crew and a great way to see Newport!”

We had a great time yesterday, our group is still talking about it!! Weather was beautiful, great captain who was very informative. Thanks for helping our family make great memories, we love laughing together!! ~ Karen

Our tour was lots of fun. Our captain was very personable and knowledgeable about Newport. We all had a fantastic time. The boat was pristine and because of its size we could tour places larger boats can not. I would highly recommend! ~ Nora J.

We had a blast. We brought our own food and drinks and made a real picnic of the afternoon. Paul was friendly and informative, everything you’d want in a guide. We plan on doing this again! ~ Billy O.

Pack the car and head on an adventure with these 5 scenic drives to take this summer in RI

PROVIDENCE — Summer in Rhode Island is a time for music festivals, leisurely days at the beach and, of course, Del’s Lemonade. It also a good season to roll down the windows and enjoy a drive around the state – even if it may require packing a lunch.

Natives will be familiar with some of the state’s best-known scenic drives. But there are other lesser-known jaunts that offer equally satisfying experiences. Here is a list of five scenic drives to take this summer and get to know Rhode Island better.

Ocean Drive in Newport

Distance: 10 miles

No list of scenic drives in Rhode Island would be complete without Newport’s Ocean Drive. The route was featured last year in Travel + Leisure’s top road trips in the U.S., and for good reason: it features Gilded Age mansions, epic ocean vistas and state parks. Visitors can dine at one of Newport’s fine dining restaurants or get their caffeine fix from one of the many the coffee shops in town.

Start near Bowen’s Wharf on America’s Cup Avenue, head down to the intersection of Thames Street, past The Sailing Museum, and Wellington Avenue and work your way clockwise along the coast. You can also start on Bellevue Avenue and work your way counterclockwise.

Along the way stop for a tour of Newport’s famous mansions – like The Breakers, Marble House, The Elms or Rosecliff – or a picnic on Fort Adams State Park . If you’re feeling like stretching your legs, try walking Newport’s Cliff Walk and enjoy the ocean breeze while catching glimpses of some of the mansions.

Ocean Road in Narragansett

Distance: 6 miles

For those who want to stay away from Newport’s crowds but still enjoy the ocean, Narragansett is the place to go. This quaint town in Rhode Island’s south doesn’t boast mansions and cliff walks but offers unbeaten access to the water. Make sure to stop by Brickley’s Ice Cream for some of the best frozen desserts in the state on your way back home.

Start where Beach Street meets Ocean Road, following the road south through The Towers, Narragansett’s unmistakable landmark, and along the coast past picturesque neighborhoods with historic homes. The road ends at the Point Judith Lighthouse , originally built in 1806. Visitors will have their pick of beaches if they want to take a dip in the ocean: Narragansett Town Beach, Scarborough State Beach and Camp Cronin are all nearby.

Route 77 in Tiverton and Little Compton

Distance: 9 miles

Rhode Island may be known as the Ocean State, but that doesn’t mean it lacks country charm. Take Tiverton and Little Compton, two towns in Newport County where you can find chicken and alpaca farms. You can follow Route 77 – also known as the Main Road – through both towns, taking in the countryside views. Stop at Coastal Roasters for a vanilla cardamom latte or for a lobster roll at Evelyn’s Drive-In or even fresh produce at Walker’s Roadside Stand . Fogland Beach is also along the route, and if you feel like hiking, Pardon Gray Preserve has 230 acres worth of land with trails to get lost in.

Start at Tiverton Four Corners , where you can peruse antique shops, grab a bite from Groundswell’s European-inspired menu and enjoy dessert from Gray’s Ice Cream . Work your way down Route 77/Main Road and veer right onto Sakonnet Point Road, following it to the coast. Take a stroll around Sakonnet Point, where you can sometimes spot harbor seals.

Block Island

Distance: Varies

Few things are more romantic than a ride on a ferry to Block Island : the ocean breeze, the waves crashing against the boat, the views of open water all around you. Once you arrive you can go straight to Ballard’s Beach, a five-minute walk from the ferry, or drive to Mansion Beach, a less-crowded spot a few miles away – though beware there are no bathrooms or other facilities here. If you are looking for more scenic stops, visit Mohegan Bluffs, where you can take in the ocean views as far as your eye can see, or stop by North Light or Southeast Lighthouse, two beautiful historical lighthouses. If you want to truly feel the ocean breeze, rent a bike or a moped and ride around the island .

Ferries depart daily from Point Judith starting in the morning and until the evening. If you are planning on bringing a vehicle, plan ahead: this is the only ferry that takes cars and requires reservations. A high-speed ferry – from both Point Judith and Newport – takes passengers to the island and back. Passengers can pay a bit extra to bring a bicycle to get around the island.

Great Road in Lincoln

Distance: 3 miles

Not all road trips need be long to be worthwhile. Take Great Road in Lincoln, a 3-mile stretch north of Providence. It is considered one of the oldest thoroughfares in the country, boasting about 300 years of history in a compact stretch of land. Its historical structures range from the Arnold House (circa 1696) to the Hannaway Blacksmith Shop (circa 1880), where you can take classes on hand forging. The main attraction is the Hearthside House (circa 1810), a stone mansion built by Stephen Hopkins Smith – with lottery winnings, according to folklore – to woo a woman from Providence. The woman, however, rejected Smith’s gesture, leading the mansion to be known as “Heartbreak House.”

Start at Gateway to Great Road, near the intersection of Great Road and Front Street. Along the way stop by Chase Farm for an easy stroll or the farm stand at Butterfly Farm, where visitors can take pictures by the twin silos. In about half a mile, turn right to follow Great Road north. If you want to visit Arnold Bakery, founded circa 1874, turn left onto Wilbur Road followed by another left at Old Louisquisset Pike. Visitors who want to extend the trip — by car or foot — can also swing by Lincoln Woods State Park nearby.
