“A wonderful Newport RI experience - highly recommended”

We did a 2-hour harbor cruise. Scheduling was easy, the trip was well organized with clear instructions e-mailed to us ahead of time. The ride was very punctual. The best part was gliding on the water with the wind in the sail and the sun in our faces. I enjoyed it immensely and felt that it was a perfect way... More

“Invigorating sail on a true classic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2011

Thank you 12 Meter Charter for a great cruise in Newport. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. We went out for an evening cuise on Victorious, the last wooden 12 meter to race for the America's Cup. She was a beauty and the crew was great too. The conditions were perfect for a sail, so the...

Reserve ahead since availability can be limited during the sailing season. Making the reservations is a snap. We sailed on Heritage on an afternoon sail. Captain Cedar Poirier, Duncan and Gus are a great crew bested only by Heritage herself. Guests were given the opportnity to ready the sails and, once out of the harbor, take the helm. Having been...

We had a great time! The Heritage team was top notch, Merideth greeted everyone individaully as they arrived and shared a brief history of the HEritage... Upon arriving the Heritage we had a wonderful trip with Cedar, Gus and Duncan. The entire team was overly attentive, knowledgable and ensured we had a great time. More

12 Meter Charters did a great job making this a fun evening for our family. The trip organizer, the captain, and the crew were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Although it was an overcast evening with poor visibility, we still had a wonderful time on a beautiful boat. Great job 12 Meter Charters!!! More

What a great way to spend a couple of hours on the water in Newport! The "Heritage" crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the boats are fast and fun. It was a well organized event, and passenger safety is top priority. Tips: Bring water to drink, and possibly some dry clothes as you might get wet! Be careful with cell... More

Our party of eight did the late afternoon sail. This is a great way to see Newport. Good time was had by all. The crew were very professional and fun, pointing out interesting landmarks in the area along the sail. We did this sail in concert with a segway tour of Newport the following day. It's a very good value... More
