Customer Reviews
All Good. Schedule and staff support was perfect.
We went for a sunset sail as a wedding gift! We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this experience. The crew was great as well. -Alexis H
Lovely evening on the Adirondack II with my husband. The 3 person crew was so knowledgeable and friendly. Check in was simple, with the option to buy drink tickets in advance if you did not have cash for the ride. Parking in Newport is always a bit challenging, but there are many free or pay parking areas around the pier. Boat was clean and in beautiful condition and felt very safe. Would highly recommend!
