Wedding Sail with Sightsailing
Pre & Post Wedding Sails & Ceremonies
Looking for an awesome activity for your wedding guests? Pre-or post-wedding sails aboard Aquidneck are the quintessential Newport activity for your wedding guests! Whether you hold your ceremony onboard or show your wedding guests Newport from the water, a sail aboard Aquidneck is a terrific and memorable activity for all. No sailing experience is required.
If you’re looking to tie the knot on the water, a Newport wedding aboard Aquidneck makes for a unique and unforgettable event. Newport has one of the prettiest harbors in the U.S. and is the sailing capital of the world. We know every inch of the harbor and bay and can provide the perfect backdrop for your special day.
Most of our wedding guests and parties opt for a private charter aboard Schooner Aquidneck. Aquidneck is specifically designed to be a charter boat so she is very comfortable to sail on and has plenty of room for guests to get up and move around.
Wedding officiants, as well as food and drink, may easily be arranged. See the Aquidneck page for more information on the boat.
*If you have a group larger than 49, we can help coordinate with several nearby boats to take over 150 guests sailing!
