Testimonials

Harbor tour.

We stumbled upon this tour by accident. I’m so glad we did, this is probably one of the best guided tours I have been on in a while.

25 dollars each is definitely worth it. An entire hour full of historic sites and lots of laughter. We’ll definitely be going back again!

Excellent trip

We took the sunset tour in mid-June and it was brilliant. I would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Newport.

Schooner Aquidneck

Aquidneck sailing in the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. Newport is spectacular from the water and the sailing is legendary.

Sightsailer

Our nimble 46' sloop Sightsailer knifing along. Designed by Newport naval architect Yves-Marie Tanton, Sightsailer is a delight to sail!  

Built by the Wharton family from Philadelphia in 1904, Clingstone has a fascinating history and has weathered many a winter storm.

Castle Hill Lighthouse

Castle Hill Lighthouse marks the entrance to Narragansett Bay and has welcomed sailors from all over the world to Newport for over 100 years.  The lighthouse is the finish line for many trans-Atlantic races.  One can walk down to the lighthouse by visiting the Inn at Castle Hill, one of our favorite spots.   Read more in our  blog ! 

Raising sail on Aquidneck

Feel like a little arm workout?  Guests may help raise sail on Aquidneck or sit back and relax.

Fort Adams was built by the U.S. Army after the British burned Washington in the war of 1812.  It marks the entrance to Newport Harbor and is the largest coastal fortification in North America.   It took 33 years to complete and never saw any wartime action. Today the fort is the home of the annual  Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals.  It's open to the public, has superb views of the bay and is a great place to tour! 

Hammersmith Farm

Hammersmith Farm was built by the Auchincloss family and was the summer home of Jacqueline Bouvier, who later married Senator John F. Kennedy at St. Mary's Church in downtown Newport.  Their wedding reception was held on the grounds and Hammersmith Farm was considered the 'Summer Whitehouse' of President Kennedy.  Kennedy loved to sail the waters off Newport and there are plenty of pictures of him and the First Lady sailing here. We'll tell you more when you come for a sail!

Sailing with just 2-6 guests, sailing on Starlight is like sailing on your own private yacht.  Pack a picnic and explore the best of Newport. Sit back and relax or enjoy casual instruction. This is fun!

Sail Newport celebrates 40 years of the Newport Regatta this weekend

NEWPORT – In 1983, the U.S. lost the America's Cup, ending the longest-running winning streak in sports history. The loss of the trophy in Newport presented a gloomy forecast of Newport without sailing and the massive event held in Newport for decades. However, a group of proactive community sailors quickly gathered to start Sail Newport, a nonprofit organization, to recruit sailing events to Newport and foster the sport of sailing

Filling the vacancy of sailing events and boosting the economic vitality of Rhode Island became Sail Newport's mission.  The nonprofit organization worked immediately to fill the sailing calendar with local events.  Less than one sailing season later, in 1984, Sail Newport created the first regatta to fill that void.  The "Newport Regatta" was launched as a one-class event with only Shields racing.  That auspicious start was a promising forebearer for rebuilding Newport as the "Sailing Capitol of the world."

This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the Newport Regatta at Sail Newport, featuring 10 one-design racing classes. The event has grown so successful over the years that sailors from an average of 17 U.S. states and several countries compete.  

“Sailors are captivated by sailing in Newport. What sets the Newport Regatta apart in the sailing world is not only racing on the legendary waters of Narragansett Bay, but also the diverse range of boats that participate. From the nimble Melges 15 sailing dinghies to the Classic S Boats to the majestic 12-Metres, the regatta offers a spectacle of speed, skill, and a captivating variety of both classic and modern sailboats," says Brad Read, executive director of Sail Newport.  

This weekend's classes include 12-Metre, 505, Ensign, F-18, S Class, IC-37, Melges 15, Snipe, Thistle, and VX One. Several classes have sanctioned the Newport Regatta as championships, including the 505 New England Championship, the Ensign Regional Championship, and the Thistle Atlantic Coast Championship.

"The Sail Newport Regatta is a foundation of the summer season in Newport. We always have great racing," says Newport Sailor John Hele, an avid sailor on several classes of boats and IC 37 sailor in the weekend’s Newport Regatta. 

The local waters will be a grand spectacle of sailboats as sailors race in four areas on Saturday and Sunday. The race boats will leave from Sail Newport in Fort Adams State Park or from their moorings or slips to racing circles, including offshore of Brenton Point, between Rose and Goat islands, North of the Newport Bridge in the Potters Cove Area, and near Gould Island.

"The Newport Regatta brings the one-design world together, joining classics like the Snipe and Thistle with newer manufacturer classes. Happy 40th anniversary, and thanks to Sail Newport for coordinating the thousands of logistics and moving parts that go into such a great event," says Carol Cronin, of Jamestown, who will compete this weekend in her Snipe Spidey.

The Newport Regatta is a true community-wide effort, with local clubs offering support. Skilled race management volunteers and power boats from these clubs form the backbone of the race committees, demonstrating the collective dedication to making the regatta a success.

The Newport Regatta requires almost 100 volunteers for race management and shoreside activities. Area organizations onboard to assist with operating the Newport Regatta include the Newport Yacht Club, the New York Yacht Club, and the International Yacht & Athletic Club. 

Local ties in the line-up of storied boat classes sailing this weekend include the S Class designed by American Naval Architect Nat Herreshoff of Bristol  The boats have stood the test of time as one of the oldest American one-design classes still racing today with an active fleet in Newport.

Also, five of the vaunted 12-Metre Class are racing this weekend and all have a rich local history in the America's Cup.  Courageous , was skippered to victory in 1974 by Ted Hood and in 1977 by Ted Turner.   Intrepid,  also on the roster this weekend, won the America's Cup in Newport in 1967 and 1970.   American Eagle, Nefertiti  and  Columbia  (1958 America’s Cup Winner) round out the entries in the 12-Metre Class.  

"The 12 Metres racing this weekend are a nod to history in the Regatta, but they are every bit as competitive and fast as they were in their America's Cup days.  Their participation links the history of sailing in Newport with ou modern sailing community,” Read adds.
