Fantastic, the highlight of our cruise along the east coast. The crew was great and have a huge knowledge of the area and its history.

My wife and I decided to book the "Sip & Sail Tour" earlier this summer to try something different. We are so glad we did! Everything was great from the start. Communication was seamless and helped make the experience even more enjoyable. The package included a tour of the beautiful Newport Vineyards with a wine tasting. The sailing excursion itself...

My husband and I took the 2 hour harbor sail cruise. We had a delightful time. The crew tells stories of local landmarks and history. They are very entertaining. They let anyone help out with raising and lowering the sails as well as steering the vessel. They offer free water and drinks. Sailing into the wind was quite fun. To... More

I enjoyed every minute of the 2-hour sail on the historic "Columbia." The boat was beautiful, the crew was friendly, and the scenery was spectacular. We especially enjoyed the captain's tales of colorful local characters and adventures on the high seas. If you bring your own bottle of wine on board, you can enjoy a toast at sunset. In one... More

Had the pleasure of sailing on the "Heritage" this past week while in Newport. What a great way to spend the evening and see the sites of Newport harbor. The Captain and crew were first-rate and the experience of sailing on a historic 12 Meter should not be missed. Bring back these classics boats to the America's Cup - what... More

After being promptly launched to our sailing boat, we enjoyed 2hrs (felt like longer as we experienced so much) cruising around the harbor. The crew were particularly knowledgeable - explaining the history of the islands and the geological impacts... More

Max and Cedar did a great job helping people sail the boat, they had fun local stories and history and the area that we sailed around was beautiful. We also had a last minute day change and Meredith did a great job handling it. We would recommend "12... More

We had a wonderful time reliving the glory days of the 12 meter America's Cup days. The crew was extremely competent, had a nice way with reassuring the apprehensive passengers, and providing opportunities for others to join in sailing the boat. The boat is a dream, the sailing waters exceptional, and we combined the sightseeing with the technical sailing in... More

Sailing aboard 12 Meter sailboat Heritage was a delight! The crew skillfully tacked between exhilarating reaches and peaceful runs back and forth across the bay. They winds allowed us excellent access from the harbor, past Fort Adams, crisscrossing the bay to Jamestown and back. Our group enjoyed a beautiful sunset nearing Newport Bridge and an excellent (under sail) run back... More
