We sailed this past Saturday on the Starlight and I have to say it far surpassed all of our expectations! My husband and I were booked with the Captain, Ed. The weather was perfect, the sailing was perfect, the views were spectacular and Ed was amazing- He knew the boat, the water,and the harbor like the back of his hand!... More

Excellent time on the Starlight! Captain Ed was friendly and knowledgable! We were on for a 4 hour sail and despite a few raindrops we had a great time! We pre ordered champange & sangria from Vickers Liquors and it was already on the boat when we boarded! This is a must do if you are in Newport!

This was the favourite part of my trip! When in Newport....sail! We had a great and knowledgeable crew who pointed out points of interest and were great with the kids on the boat. It was a stellar day for sailing and we had an amazing time. I was glad we brought sunscreen and snacks though. I think 2 hours was... More

Less than $30 for a little less than a 2 hour sail (afternoon) seemed like a great value too me. The crew was knowledgeable and witty. This is real fun and even though it's a big boat they cover a fair amount of ground on a breezy day and is ideal for a first time sail on Narragansett Bay! I... More

This was our 2nd time on Starlight and booked a 4hr trip this time. Ed was our captain and we enjoyed our sail with him. Very relaxing trip and was a beautiful day on the water. Brought our food and drink with us and had a nice lunch on the boat. My brother in law had never sailed before and... More

We chartered the Starlight for a 2 hour tour of Newport and had the time of our lives. Kurt, our captain, made everyone feel comfortable which was important since only 1 of us had sailed previously [4 adults & 2 children (ages 6 and 9)]. Kurt patiently explained how the ropes and sails worked, why we were tilting to the... More

While deciding which company to sail with in Newport may seem daunting, look no further. Sight Sailing of Newport was a class act from start to finish. We knew that we were interested in a more authentic sailing experience so we decided to book a trip on the SightSailer. (You can bring your own wine, too! Definitely a plus.) We... More

Great experience on this 2-hour cruise. The crew was more than competent - very knowledgeable and quite entertaining. This cruise should be mandatory for any visit to Newport - you will come away with completely different and wonderful perspective from the water. Smooth sailing and land sightings at all times, which is important to those who fear sea-sickness. For the... More

There are so many boat tours in Newport, how do you decide which to take? I highly recommend the Sightsailing cruise. Sightsailing booth is located in the center of Bowen's Wharf. We took a sail on the Aquidneck, which is the largest in their fleet. The boat was spotless, with plenty of seating. The crew was incredibly friendly, clearly skilled... More
