Start your day with a morning sightseeing sail around Newport on a classic sailboat. Sailing aboard Schooner Madeleine is a great experience for friends and family to see all the iconic waterfront sights of Newport and Narragansett Bay.
Sail by the Newport Bridge, which is the largest suspension bridge in New England, see historic lighthouses, Fort Adams, Newport's mansions, Hammersmith Farm and more from the water. Watch the crew raise sail and relax on deck with a mimosa.
Once the sails are up, guests will enjoy sailing around the bay powered by the wind. This is a classic Newport experience that's great for friends and family, locals and visitors that want to see all that Newport has to offer from the water!
