5.00Mike, James, Doug and Callie were fantastic and made for a great afternoon on the water. Captain Mike provided a bunch of fun facts on Newport and sailing which added to the day. The crew was super friendly and you can tell these guys love what they do which makes the experience even better.

5.00I come from a state that is land locked so coming out to the coast had to have the opportunity to get onto the water. Little nervous at first, but the crew and especially the captain of the heritage were awesome. Definitely recommend. I certainly liked the evening sale the best
The best thing you can do in Newport!

Authentic Newport Sailing Experience

5.00This was our first time on a 12-meter, and it did not disappoint! The crew was at ease sailing this well-maintained piece of America's Cup history, and gave us tidbits of Newport history along the way. However, if you are looking for a sightseeing cruise, I would recommend chartering with Sea Newport instead. This was an exhilarating sailing experience with the rail in the water at times, giving you a taste of a true America's Cup race!
