Newport is one of the best bachelorette destinations in New England, and there is no better way to experience it than from the deck of a private sailboat. Sightsailing offers the ultimate bachelorette party on a boat in Newport, RI, your entire group, your own vessel, your playlist, your champagne, and the sailing capital of the United States as your backdrop. Whether you are planning a relaxed afternoon cruise or a lively sunset celebration, a sailing charter makes every other bachelorette activity that weekend look ordinary by comparison.
Every bachelorette charter is completely private. The boat is reserved exclusively for your group, no strangers, no shared space, no compromises. Bring your own drinks and snacks, play your own music through the onboard Bluetooth sound system, and let our experienced, outgoing crew handle everything else. Drinks delivered to the dock? Vicker’s Liquors does exactly that, free delivery straight to Bowen’s Wharf before you board.
We have three vessels to match every group size and celebration style, each with its own character and amenities. Whether your party is six close friends or forty-nine, there is a Sightsailing boat made for this moment.
Your charter is private. There are no strangers on board, just your crew!
