Sailing & Lobster Adventures with The Newport Experience

Rhode Island’s southern coast embraces the bustling maritime charm of Newport, a city where historic wharfs meet the Atlantic’s sweeping blue horizons. The Newport Experience offers a unique blend of maritime tradition and coastal dining aboard their classic schooner, creating an unmistakable local adventure. Their selection of sails—from the popular Lobster Boil & Sunset Sail to the more intimate Wine & Cheese and Father's Day specials—places travelers directly on Narragansett Bay in an authentic sailing vessel.

The schooner itself is a sturdy, traditional rigged ship, designed to glide smoothly across the water, letting the wind and tide provide a quiet, rhythmical journey. Each trip includes outstanding views of the Newport coastline: the famous mansions perched on cliffs, rugged coasts with sheer rock faces, and the busy harbor dotted with yachts and fishing boats. Guests get a direct connection with the sea and sky, making it far more immersive than a typical cruise.

What sets The Newport Experience apart in this iconic sailing town is its focus on local flavor and atmosphere. The New England Lobster Boil sail, for example, offers diners fresh, sweet lobster steamed onboard, often served alongside vibrant salads and chilled local corn. The Wine & Cheese sail pairs regional wines with artisanal cheese, perfect for those savoring the ocean air without the clamorous rush. For special occasions like Father's Day, the tailored cruises provide a memorable celebration with both quality food and quiet sailing time.

Each trip is approachable for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels, requiring no sailing experience—just a readiness to unwind and appreciate the surrounding maritime beauty. With Narragansett Bay’s cool breezes and stunning sunsets, The Newport Experience makes the classic New England coastal outing both accessible and remarkable for visitors and locals alike.
