It was excellent and just a beautiful experience. Sahan, our captain was awesome, very knowledgeable & a skilled capt. Bob was a great 1st mate and knows the history of the bay and the families who are longtime characters. The Sloop, Eleanor is a beautiful, intimate and fun yacht to sail. I would definitely recommend this yacht and will share my opinion with anyone coming to Newport.
Great morning on the Narragansett

Really fun and informative cruise. Miles and the crew were incredibly nice and professional. The weather was great and the took us in a great ride around the Narragansett bay. My wife and I had a generous Prosecco pour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The crew was funny and professional. Told us about Newport history and gave us great lunch recommendations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a morning boat ride.
Wonderful cruise! Crew...

We are so pleased to have started our day on the Madeleine! The crew was amazing, there was just enough information given about the area and overall it was gorgeous, informative, and easy. We arrived early for our 10:30 cruise and easily found parking right by the dock- when we returned it was much busier, so we felt fortunate to have had the place somewhat “to ourselves” before our sail. Would 100% do it again! I think the morning sail was the right choice as the evening weather could be hit or miss.
Great experience highly recommend!

Great crew! Super safe and exhilarating sail! I’m a local and yet I learned SO much about the homes on the shore . Tip: ask the crew for your 2nd drink before you get close to the landing. Lost out on our 2nd purchased drink ticket. Bon voyage!
Sparkling sips and seas!
