The quintessential company outing in Newport is a private yacht charter in Newport, the sailing capital of the world! Corporate outings in Newport on a boat, whether it’s a summer office party or treating everyone to a sail after the big meeting is over, is the ultimate Newport company outing!
Sightsailing has been hosting Newport company outings for years. Past corporate clients include Adidas, Boston Beer Works, Blue Cross, Hasbro, Harvard, Morgan Stanley, Deloitte Touche, and countless others.
Aquidneck and Sightsailer are our two most popular sailing vessels boats for corporate outings and private sailing charters. Aquidneck sails with a maximum of 49 guests. And Sightsailer sails with a maximum of 13.
Both boats are specifically designed to take guests sailing and are therefore exceptionally comfortable. Additionally, Aquidneck and Sightsailer carry all required safety gear and are subject to annual, U.S. Coast Guard inspections. All of our crew love to sail and have excellent hospitality skills ensuring your guests have a memorable experience.
Guests may take the helm and steer, raise sail and turn winches, or sit back, relax and take in the sights. Sailing experience is not required.
It’s easy to arrange food and drink. We have special Yacht Charter Menus by several excellent, local caterers that we’d be happy to share with you.
Additionally, charterers may order drinks from several area liquor stores who deliver for free to the dock with no markup in cost.
Our crew will load and unload all food and drink, put it on deck and set it up for your guests. We’ll also take care of all the cleanup after the sail. See our FAQ section for additional info on food and drink.
Sightsailing is conveniently located on Bowen’s Wharf, which is close to all the major hotels and inns in downtown Newport. Bowen’s Wharf is a historic wharf and the heart of the waterfront district with many excellent shops and restaurants close by.
