Newport, Rhode Island, offers New England charm — with a little eccentricity.
A contemporary city with a rich yachting heritage, Newport has something for almost everyone - from interesting shops and restaurants, museums, art and jazz festivals, to beautiful beaches, ideal sailing conditions, historic mansions, and the world famous "Cliff Walk".
Built by early American rebels and defined by the ocean, Newport has one of the best coastlines in New England, which can you explore as you walk along the cliffside that towers over it. Find colonial architecture in the Newport Historic District and regal 19th- century mansions along Bellevue Avenue.
Head to downtown Newport and explore Thames Street and Broadway, where there are countless shops, restaurants — you can find everything from seafood classics to Japanese ramen noodles — and a lively nightlife scene.
Things to Do in Newport
Paddleboarding from Conanicut Marina in the neighboring town of Jamestown, surfing along Sachuest Beach and sailing the harbor are some of the best activities in the area. Catch the waves and gain a new perspective on the classic coast of New England.
Mansion Hop
During the Gilded Age, many families summered in Newport. They left behind some of the most beautiful and best-preserved mansions in the U.S. Tour them to see what life was like for some here in the 19th century. Explore the manicured grounds, cliffside views and ornate decor of over 12 mansions lining Bellevue Avenue and scattered along Ocean Avenue.
If it's peace and quiet you're after, Newport's 3.5-mile Cliff Walk is your ticket to escape. On one side, you'll have infinite views of the Atlantic Ocean and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks. On the other, you'll catch another glimpse of the Gilded Age mansions. It's the best of both worlds.
Local Cuisine
Dining in Newport has many chef-owned restaurants, nationally acclaimed eateries, quintessential New England lobster shacks and budget-friendly hangouts.
Eclectic home-goods shops and boutiques filled with unique styles and accessories line Newport's cobblestone streets and wharves. Spend a few hours meandering and collecting one-of-a-kind New England sundries — Thames Street and Bowen's Wharf are the best areas to start your shopping excursion.
![Coastal Home in Newport Coastal Home in Newport](https://www.navtours.com/fichiersUpload/tinymce/20181221011904-20181221011720-coastal-home-in-newport-rhode-island.jpg)
Coastal Home in Newport
Jamestown Island is connected by two bridges to the shores of Narragansett Bay. Although it's a short hop to Newport, there's much to do on Jamestown Island. Try a round of golf on the 9- hole, 36 par course, outfitted with pro shop, bar & grill, and golf carts. Near the golf course, you can also find the Jamestown Island Sanctuary with hiking trails and wildlife viewing platforms overlooking the scenic salt marsh. You might also take a stroll down the quiet streets to view the beautiful homes tucked away among the trees.
Otherwise, try Mackeral Cove Beach where life guards and beach facilities tend to your safety and comfort. If you're feeling more energetic head to Fort Wethergill State Park, where you can go sightseeing, rock climbing, fishing, picnicking, and scuba diving. Don't let the children miss the historic windmill on North Main Road, or the museum, playground and library that will keep them occupied for hours.
Cuttyhunk Island is the westernmost of Massachusetts' Elizabeth Islands, and part of a pretty string of islets between Buzzard's Bay and the Vineyard Sound. On Cuttyhunk, you can easily grasp the power of the Atlantic, and feel way the wind beats against the waves, how the sun glitters off the water's surface.
Cuttyhunk, the south western most part of the Elizabeth Islands, feels like the remote corner of Massachusetts that it is. The harbor in Cuttyhunk Pond is protected by sandbars that make for amazing beaches.
This destination dates back to the 17th century as a big game fishing mecca, but it's now equally attractive for sailors and weekend cruisers. Although the harbor can, at times, be crowded, the island is really known as a quiet, beautiful, and isolated spot to do some serious relaxation.
You certainly won't want to miss this quaint and charming port of call.
The quaint charm and elegance of Padanaram can be seen in the grand homes that look out over the harbor, as well as the quiet streets and the salty waterfront. But there's one thing that sets Padanaram apart from many other destinations - you won't find it listed on any chart. The charts say Apponagansett Bay is in the town of South Dartmouth, but everyone knows it's really the historic village of Padanaram.
Padanaram is a natural beauty. You can spend time meandering the streets of the picturesque village.
Martha's Vineyard
The beautiful island of Martha's Vineyard is a world apart, offering a vacation ambiance unlike any other. The seaside villages attract year-round visitors to their stunning beaches, gingerbread houses, bountiful recreational activities and unique New England Charm.
The islands off Cape Cod are enchanting destinations. Martha's Vineyard, in particular, paints a vivid portrait. The chic, the super-rich, summer vacation homes for presidents, Black Dog, a bridge on Chappaquiddick, film crews and Jaws, all portray a very alluring destination. Just a short sail from the mainland, the Vineyard features pristine sandy beaches, natural beauty, golf courses, bike trails, nature preserves, lots of history, and more than a standard share of sun & fun-seeking celebrities.
Getting there: The recommended approach to the Vineyard is via Quick's Hole from Buzzards Bay. Of course, passing around Cuttyhunk on a lovely day provides a great view of Gay Head from sea level.
Where to go: Martha's Vineyard has four harbors, each with a totally different character:
Vineyard Haven - is large and accessible and perfectly fine if you need to stop. The town is dry (no alcohol) but lots of fun and a few nice low-key restaurants (the famous Black Dog) and quaint stores.
More powerboat oriented with a hugely supportive community marina, in a charming Victorian setting.

An island of class, culture, and undeniable style, Nantucket is located 30 miles out at Sea off the cost of Southern Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Known for its pristine beaches and cobblestone streets lined with historic homes, Nantucket offers a glimpse into a yesteryear. Famous for its film and wine festivals and 4th of July fireworks celebrations,
Nantucket is one of the most unique, and visually stunning places in the world. Originally a booming whaling port, Nantucket has been named a national historic district and little has changed architecturally since the 17th century, with seaside cottages and old-fashioned lamps still lining the streets.
Nantucket lies 22 miles south of Cape Cod. There are numerous shoals enroute so it pays to have accurate charts and to follow the government marks carefully. The area also experiences frequent fog so be prepared. Because the approaches are relatively shallow, the waters can get churned up for a fairly rocky ride. Once you get there the anchorage can be crowded so do make reservations for moorings or slips well in advance of your planned trip.
![Entrance of Nantucket Entrance of Nantucket](https://www.navtours.com/fichiersUpload/tinymce/20181221005202-20181221005000-entrance-of-nantucket-massachusetts.jpg)
Entrance of Nantucket
Known for excellent cycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, surfing, and beaches, Block Island was named by the Nature Conservancy as one of the twelves sites on the list of the "Last Great Places" in the western hemisphere. Approximately 20 percent of the island is set aside for conservation. Visit the Mohegan Bluffs, just walking distance from the Southeast Lighthouse. A long staircase of over one hundred steps leads to the bottom of these clay cliffs and looks out over the Atlantic. A visit to Block Island is not complete without a stop for a bowl of New England Clam Chowder at the National Hotel.
Block Island is one of the premier yachting destinations in New England. Block Island is rustic with lots of Victorian charm and natural beauty.
Often called the Bermuda of the North, Block Island is laid back with several main venues that are well connected by good roads and easy to traverse by bike, car or taxi. It has two fine harbors. New Harbor (aka Great Salt Pond), and Old Harbor, where the center of town resides. New Harbor is about a 3 minute taxi ride, and easy bike ride, or 15 minute walk into town.
![Great Salt Pond at Block Island Great Salt Pond at Block Island](https://www.navtours.com/fichiersUpload/tinymce/20181221005614-20181221005511-great-salt-pond-at-block-island-rhode-island.jpg)
Great Salt Pond at Block Island
Montauk, New York
Located at the end of Long Island's South Fork, Montauk, New York, has transformed itself from a small fishing town into one of the most desirable, scenic and lively towns in the North Eastern United States. Made up of just 19.8 square miles of land, there are numerous waterfront attractions that are easily accessed by boat, and marinas equipped to cater to visiting superyachts, making Montauk especially unique as a world- class cruising destination.
Whether you are a sailor, a yachtsman or a tournament fisherman, Montauk provides the perfect setting to live life at your own pace, plus, if you wish to venture beyond, it's the perfect launching point to the nearby waterfront towns of the Hamptons.
Climate and cruising conditions:
Overall, the summertime weather in the Hamptons is exceptional, making it a major reason why so many visitors venture out from New York, but many people enjoy visiting Montauk aboard a superyacht during the shoulder months of April or October when average temperatures are slightly cooler, allowing them to avoid the crowds and to take advantage of some great shopping and lodging discounts.
Beyond Montauk, visitors will find an array of activities and cruising destinations to keep them entertained for a longer visit. Travelling from the marinas and anchorages of Montauk by tender or road vehicle, guests can explore the scenic roads of the Hamptons.
![Montauk Point State Park Lighthouse Montauk Point State Park Lighthouse](https://www.navtours.com/fichiersUpload/tinymce/20181221010434-20181221010323-panoramic-view-on-montauk-point-state-park-lighthouse.jpg)
Montauk Point State Park Lighthouse
Greenport, New York
Because of its deep and protected harbor, Greenport became a major whaling port between 1795 and 1859 and enjoyed a bustling shipbuilding industry as well. By the mid 1800s, the menhaden fishing industry was in full swing and employed thousands of people. The Long Island Railroad arrived in 1844 and was a driving force in the development of Greenport and the North Fork as local farmers used the railroad to ship their harvest to markets.
Greenport became a huge oystering center during the first half of the 20th century and at one time there were over a dozen oyster processing plants in town. As the oyster industry began to shrink, the Village turned its attention towards tourism and has developed into a vibrant destination for visitors from all over the world.
In 2011, Forbes magazine named Greenport one of the prettiest towns in the United States and in 2012, Yachting Magazine voted Greenport one of the 50 best yachting destinations in North America.
Sag Harbor, New York
Sag Harbor offers pristine beaches, breathtaking ocean views, historic homes, antique shops, hideaway inns and gourmet eateries in a truly unique setting of century old streets. Lunch or dinner at Sunset Beach Hotel and restaurant feels more like St. Tropez than Eastern Long Island, making Sag Harbor an excellent place to start your New England cruising.
The Hamptons, New York
The villages and hamlets, which make up the Hamptons to east of New York's Long Island provide the perfect style and finesse for a luxury yacht charter getaway. Quaint boutiques, antique shops, art galleries and gourmet restaurants abound. Choose from chic, celebrity-filled Southampton, beach perfect East Hampton and laid-back Westhampton.
You will find that Three Mile Harbor is the most "boater-friendly" harbor and the only public facilities for the traveling boaters. The harbor offers several marinas, restaurants, an enormous anchorage and a very well protected harbor.
Springs offers a tranquil harbor which is great for exploring. Acabonack Harbor is home of several secluded home, several ospreys nest and also well protected. Fly fisherman are also spotted in the area regularly.
Three Mile Harbor is conveniently located between Sag Harbor and Amaganset. This This beautiful Harbor is East Hampton's most popular port with access to Marinas, Anchorages, Restaurants, Groceries and more.
You will find the harbor is well protected and offers a beautiful natural anchorage. The harbor is extremely long and very shallow along the west side of the channel.
Fishers Island is located at 41°15'43" North, 72°0'26" West.
The Island lies just off the mainland of Connecticut and Rhode Island, about six miles north of Montauk across Block Island Sound from Long Island and Block Island. It forms the gateways to the Connecticut shore and Long Island Sound.
Fishers Island is an amazing place unlike any other. If you are looking for a quiet anchorage for the night and some lovely beaches, perhaps to have a bonfire on (you'll need a permit), this is the place to visit. It has beauty, elegance and class but, if you know no one there or have no reason of going to the island, don't expect lots of friendly services, shops, and restaurants, because they don't exist. All in all, you will enjoy it if you just keep to yourself.
The western half of the island offers some interesting biking and walking destinations. The beaches are beautiful. They are on the Atlantic Ocean just at the mouth of Long Island Sound, so there can be substantial surf.
The other half of the island is very "real"; small cottages by the sea, fishermen and oyster farmers, a small school and library. Yet, it is unreal that such a life is still possible within a stone's throw of some of the most populated areas of the country.
The Indians called Shelter Island "Manhansack-aha-quashawomock", which meant "an island sheltered by islands". And that is exactly what makes this island so special.
Shelter Island (or "The Rock" as it is commonly called) is nestled between the twin forks of Long Island, protecting it from the swells of the ocean. Shelter Island was first settled by the Manhassett Indians and then later by the English in 1652.
Today sailors and boaters, alike continue to enjoy these beautiful waters. We highly recommended a sail or cruise around Shelter Island. While circling the island you will see not only all the beautiful sights Shelter Island has to offer, but also to gorgeous scenery of the North and South Forks.
Port Jefferson is a great destination from anywhere on Long Island Sound, lying directly across from Stratford Shoal Lighthouse. Moreover, it's a great stopover to or from more easterly destinations.
![Marina in Port Jefferson Marina in Port Jefferson](https://www.navtours.com/fichiersUpload/tinymce/20181221011151-20181221011018-marina-in-port-jefferson-ny.jpg)
Marina in Port Jefferson
Boating by the Manhattan skyline should be on everyone's bucket list. Seeing the city from this perspective isn't something you'll forget.
This is an exciting city to visit and offers an enormous number and variety of berthing options.
They range from quiet anchorages behind Sandy Hook on the southern side of New York Harbor entrance (although the river has strong currents so there are few options for anchoring), through busy docks at Staten Island, Brooklyn, in the Hudson and East Rivers, to quaint havens in the Bronx and other harbors at the southern end of Long Island Sound.
Boston Harbor
Home to a National Park comprised of 34 islands and peninsulas. This is probably the best thing about boating in Boston. All but three islands are open to the public and many are only reachable by private boat. Many of the islands, such as Lovell, Peddocks and Grape, are great for overnight camping. You can drop anchor, find a secluded beach, and spend the day far from the traffic and crowds. Stop off at Bumkin Island to see the historic ruins or sail past Fort Warren on Georges Island, or visit Boston Harbor Light, the oldest lighthouse in the US. Not to mention the Harbor Islands are a premiere spot for sport fishing. Anglers here catch Stripers, Cod, Bluefish, and Flounder.
The City on the Hill
Boston is home to the Boston Harbor, an important port in any American history book because it was the location of the Boston Tea Party in the 17th century. Today, while much of the history of the Boston Harbor is still intact, so are many other amenities that tourists from around the country seek to find in Beantown and hitting the water on Boston boat rentals is a visitor's dream.
Whale Watching
The Gerry E. Studds Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary is part of the Massachusetts Bay and a prime location for whale watching. It is common to see humpback, fin, minke, northern right and pilot whale, as well as Atlantic white-sided dolphin. Spring and summer are the best times for whale watching. Take your boat out to the bank and keep your fingers crossed for a "whale show."
Perched way out on the edge of Cape Cod, this friendly and relaxed seaside town also happens to be home to the country's oldest art colony. As part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, it has miles of gorgeous beaches for you to explore on foot or by boat. Get out into province lands for miles of scenic hiking and bicycling routes through majestic dunes and rugged wilderness, as well as for the stunning view both out over the Atlantic and in towards Boston and the rest of the Cape. Join locals and tourists alike in walking around the cute streets, stopping in designer boutiques, locals s shops, friendly cafés, and acclaimed restaurants. Check the calendar before you come, as there are always festivals going on in Provincetown.
The unmistakable fist of sand that the Pilgrims encountered at the end of Cape Cod still forms a winding entrance to the harbor, offering greater protection around every turn.
At the center, is the Pilgrim Monument, 348 feet above high tide and visible over twenty miles away. A series of bearings on the monument is a reliable way to measure your progress against the coastline's succession of near-identical dunes and beaches.

This was the first time I did a private charter instead of a group sail on a larger boat. I do not think I will ever go back to buying tickets for a group sail.

Charter this one of a kind america's cup sailboat in newport, gravies & little harbor yard, inc by frederick hood custom built (1970), description.
Nefertiti was the first twelve designed by Frederick “Ted” Hood and the only new 12 built for the 1962 Defender Trails. Her construction was a fast one, she was launched just 96 days after the plans were delivered to the yard. At the time she was the beamiest 12 ever built, as Hood was in search of stability. Nefertiti won the 1962 Lipton Memorial Trophy (NYYC).
She was chartered by Americas Cup Challenger Syndicate as the trial horse for Dame Pattie. Thus began her travels around the globe. From 1969-79, her home port was in Piraeus, Greece. From here she went on to the West Indies, then to Fremantle for the 1987 Cup races then on to South Africa for six years.
We are delighted to offer charters aboard this America’s Cup contender and racing champion. Perfect for small group outings, sunset sails, bachelor or bachelorette parties, etc! Sleek and fast, this yacht offers pleasureful sailing experiences to all her guests. Join the winning tradition and sail aboard this dashing yacht!

David was the best!!! His boat is beautiful, he had so much knowledge and was so great to talk to, he gave us an unforgettable experience! We’re definitely coming back annually to do more boat tours with David! We took our engagement photos on the boat, had champagne and enjoyed the beautiful weather!
Dave was such a great captain. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. He is very knowledgeable and takes great care of his boat. We will be booking with him again soon!
Perrin was a great conversationalist as well as a captain for our sunset sail. I appreciated his knowledge about the island and town’s history. He was very accommodating for our needs and patient with us being fulfilling new parent duties! Would recommend

For Private Sailing Charters
Private sailing charters in Newport are a unique and enjoyable experience. Sailing in Newport with just your friends, family or coworkers is the quintessential Newport activity, fun and memorable for all! Bachelorette parties, birthday parties, sails with family and friends or corporate outings are all great ideas to for a private charter.
What’s the difference between a Private Charter and a Public Sail? Other than having the boat to yourselves, a private charter also allows you to have food and drink delivered or brought on board, listen to your own music, etc. See our FAQ section for more information on food and drink.
Guests are welcome to participate in the sailing or sit back and relax. No sailing experience is required.
Ideas for Private Sailing Charters include but are not limited to:
- Bachelorette & Bachelor Parties
- Engagements & Anniversaries
- Pre & Post-Wedding Sails, Ceremonies
- Corporate Events & Company Outings : Office Get Together, Employee Appreciation, Post-Meeting Activity, Team building
- Celebrations & Special Occasions : Birthday Parties, Graduations, Retirement Parties
- Sails with Family and Friends
Private Sailing Charters:
Choose a boat, date, and scheduled departure time..
We have three sailboats, Aquidneck, Sightsailer, and Starlight, all of which may be chartered for private sails. Starlight sails with a maximum of 6 guests, Sightsailer sails with a maximum of 13 and Aquidneck can take up to 49 people sailing!
In order to book a charter, determine the number of people in your party and choose the boat whose capacity closely matches your number of guests.
Please note that boat capacity numbers are determined by the Coast Guard and cannot be exceeded under any circumstance. The Coast Guard considers every human being on the boat to be a person regardless of age, so a two-year-old counts the same as an adult in the total guest count.
Next, determine the desired date and choose one of the boat’s scheduled departure times for your sail.
You may see each boat’s scheduled sailing departures in the Schedules & Rates section. To book a private charter you need to choose one of the boat’s scheduled departures.
For Aquidneck or Sightsailer charters, the best way to get the ball rolling is to fill out the Private Charter Inquiry Form below. We will respond to you quickly with available dates, times, information on food and drink, cancellation policies, etc. Two-hour Private Sailing Charters aboard Starlight may be booked online .

Relax as you sail past the magnificent seaside estates of Brenton’s Cove, out to Castle Hill lighthouse and along the shoreline of Newport’s scenic Ocean Drive. Although you may take the wheel and help sail, sailing experience is not necessary. Rates start at just $400 for a two-hour private sail.

PLAIN OL’ PRIVATE SAILING CHARTERS
You don’t need a special reason to take a private sail in Newport! Newport is home to one of the prettiest harbors in the world, is the sailing capital of the United States, and has a legendary history. Coming to Newport and not going sailing would be like visiting Aspen and not going skiing!
Call us at (401) 619-0202 with questions, or send us an email.

Are you ready for a cruising experience you will never forget? Once you step aboard our picnic boat Tabasco, it transforms into your own personal boat. Your cruise is complete with the five-star service you expect, as well as complimentary options you won't find anywhere else on the harbor.
With no set route, your crew is ready to guide you through our favorite spots and hidden gems of Newport harbor and Narragansett Bay. Sit back, relax as you sip your favorite beverages and indulge in picture perfect charcuterie, now complimentary from our friends at Bellevue Boards .
We can't wait to have you aboard!
Matt K - TripAdvisor
We have been out in Newport on a few different charter boats, but our experience on Tabasco was simply the best. The boat is a great example of a traditional New England picnic boat and Curtis and his crew were top notch. They have complimentary local drinks on board and have partnered with Bellevue Boards to let you pre-order a charcuterie board ahead of time - the perfect, classy snack on this 1.5 hours cruise. Should you be interested, they are very knowledgeable about the area and are happy to note points of interest and history along the way, or if you prefer, they will let you and you guests talk amongst yourselves instead. This is not a one-size fits all operation, and they are happy to work around your wishes. You can't visit Newport without getting out on the water, and there is no better way than Tabasco!

No boat? No problem. Here's how to get on the water even if you don't own a boat.
![rent sailboat newport ri Portrait of Jack Perry](https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/presto/2021/08/19/NPRJ/3b2e33ee-1363-4627-a093-7652a64ec9a6-mypic.jpg?crop=450,450,x0,y0&width=48&height=48&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
Rhode Island, with 400 miles of coastline , is called the Ocean State, but getting on the water can be difficult, unless you own a boat, or have a good friend or relative who owns one.
Here are some tips for getting on the water without marrying into a family of boaters:
What's the best way to rent a boat in Rhode Island?
Wickford Boat Rentals has more than a dozen boats ranging from 19 to 36 feet, both power boats and sailboats. Daily and extended rentals are available.
The business requires renters to demonstrate they're qualified to handle a boat on their own. "We vet them pretty heavily," said owner David Fetherston.
Do you need training to drive a boat in RI?
For those who haven't had training, lessons are available through Wickford's In-Command Seamanship Training program. Wickford also offers charters with a "captain on board who will take you on a carefree excursion around Rhode Island’s beautiful coastline."
Rental costs vary depending on the size of the boat and the rental period. For example, smaller boats rent for about $295 for a half day and $395 for a full day. The larger boats rent for about $745 to $945. Repeat renters can get discounts by joining Wickford's Captain's Club.
Wickford Rentals also offers chartered trips aboard its Sabre 36 Express, Lorelei. The charter includes a captain and crew member and costs $1,550 plus gas for a half day, $2,250 plus gas for a full day.
Renting kayaks in Rhode Island
Kayaks require less training and boating knowledge than powerboats and sailboats. They may also provide the easiest and least expensive access to water.
Several businesses in Rhode Island offer kayak rentals. The Kayak Centre in Wickford rents several different types of kayaks, including pedal kayaks. A single recreational kayak rents for $37 for two hours and $53 for four hours. The business also rents out standup paddle boards, $42 for two hours, $58 for four hours.
The business rents kayaks out of two locations, Wickford and Charlestown. Reservations must be made in advance. The Kayak Centre also offers lessons, tours and kayak fishing.
Or, if you're in the Providence area, Providence Kayak rents single and tandem kayaks in the heart of downtown and in Lincoln Woods. Rentals start at $20 for 45 minutes.
What are boat clubs and how do you join one in RI?
Freedom Boat Club , which has six Rhode Island locations, offers an option between renting and owning. The club requires a down payment and monthly dues. The standard entry fee is $7,999, but the club often offers new-member promotions at a reduced joining fee. Monthly dues range from $349 to $429, according to Michelle Voss, a company spokeswoman.
In addition to its locations in Wakefield, North Kingstown, Warwick, Newport, Barrington and Portsmouth, Freedom Boat Club has more than 400 locations across North America, Europe and Australia.
"A major benefit to membership is that members not only have unlimited access to their home club fleet of boats, but reciprocal access to enjoy any of our locations worldwide," Voss said. "Many of our members plan their travel based on where we have locations."
Freedom requires members to pass a written exam and on-the-water training, which is covered by the membership cost.

Gondola rides in Providence offer unique sightseeing opportunities from the water
Probably the most famous and most romantic way to get on the water in Rhode Island is to take a gondola river ride with La Gondola Providence.
Owner Matthew "Marcello" Haynes has four gondolas available to take guests through downtown Providence on the Providence and Woonasquatucket rivers. Reservations aren't required but are advised, Haynes said.
La Gondola Providence offers a variety of trip types. The Sogni, the original and "still the most popular," costs $89 for two people on a 40-minute private ride. It "includes an ice bucket, glasses, and opener (BYOB), handmade Italian wine biscuits, and a little singing from your gondolier." Your gondolier would be happy to point out the sights and answer questions during the trip."
La Gondola Providence also offers half-hour trips during WaterFire that cost $299 for up to six guests.
A classic sailing cruise out of Newport is another great boating option
Another option that lets someone else do the piloting or sailing is a sightseeing trip out of Newport. Newport Classic Cruises offers rides on sailboats and a motor yacht called Rum Runner II.
The Rum Runner II was built during Prohibition for use in the rumrunner trade, according to Newport Classic Cruises. "Relive the speed and thrill of the chase of the smuggler boats from the days of Prohibition."
Trips on the Rum Runner II cost $45 for adults, $42 for seniors and $35 for children.
Newport Classic Cruises also offers charters on sailboats.
