Set Sail & Discover the Joy of Sailing
Your Newport Sailing Adventure
Looking for the perfect public sailing tour in Newport? One that doesn’t take too many people and is super smooth sailing? Step aboard Sightsailer for a relaxed 90-minute small-group sailing experience through Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay.
Ask any sailor and they’ll tell you that smaller boats are just more fun to sail on than big boats. Unlike larger boats that can sail with upwards of 70 people, you’ll enjoy an intimate, uncrowded sail with a maximum of just 13 guests.
You can take the wheel, help sail, or simply sit back, relax in the cushioned cockpit, or kick off your shoes, venture up on deck and soak in the coastal scenery.
