- Newport's Rocky Coastline
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Spectacular coastline vistas and heritage sights are best enjoyed from the picturesque waters of Narragansett Bay, a designated estuary of stunning beauty and national significance. Your adventure begins with a walk to Bowen's Wharf and a warm welcome from your experienced crew as you step aboard the Adirondack II, a striking 80-foot sailing schooner. Gorgeously appointed with mahogany trim and teak decks, the schooner will head through Newport Harbor to highlight Newport's coastal scenery. Take in lovely views of such famous sites as Fort Adams, Castle Hill Inn, the stately lighthouses, and the lavish estates which dominate the landscape, including Hammersmith Farm, which was Jacqueline Kennedy's family home and the summer White House for JFK. Your captain will regale you with historical facts and local lore as you sip a sparkling mimosa and photograph the wonders before you. Sailing on this classic boat is truly an experience you won't forget.
