Since members of the New York Yacht Club sailed to Newport in 1844, this coastal community in Rhode Island has been one of the world’s great maritime capitals. Whether you want to kick back and relax aboard a sunset cruise or try your hand at America’s Cup racing, you can do it here. These are some ways to enjoy the city from the water.
Harbor Sightseeing Excursions
Sightseeing cruises through Newport Harbor offer travelers the opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of Newport and Narragansett Bay from the decks of an open-air lobster boat. Many tours provide narration as they sail past points of interest, such as Fort Adams, Jamestown, and Newport’s famous Gilded-Age mansions.
Sunset Cruises
For a romantic excursion on the water, board a boat for a sunset cruise along the stunning Rhode Island coastline. Learn about the area’s maritime history as you watch the sun set over the water. Some evening cruises also include a Champagne toast and the chance to sample some Rhode Island cuisine, such as a quahog stuffie (stuffed clams).
Yacht Racing
As a hub of sailing, Newport is an excellent spot to get out on the water aboard a yacht. Step aboard a former America’s Cup sailboat and try your hand at sailing, or simply sit back and take in the views of the New York Yacht Club, Newport Pell Bridge, Rose Island Lighthouse, and Fort Adams. For an adrenaline rush, get a hands-on lesson in America’s Cup racing maneuvers from a professional crew.
