Newport Sailing Highlights

By Travel Expert: Sarah White
  • Take a scheduled cruise or private charter along Ocean Drive or Jamestown's rocky shoreline with Sightsailing Yacht Charters.
  • Select from 40-foot vessels in the Bareboat Sailing Charters fleet, then choose a destination: Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cuttyhunk, or Shelter Island.
  • Learn the ropes from Sail Newport at Fort Adams State Park, where affordable instruction and award-winning programs stem from a mission to expand the sport.
  • Celebrate a special event aboard a legendary America's Cup racing yacht, riding the wind for a few hours or an entire day.
