Champagne Sunset Cruise

Sunset Cruises in Newport, RI are stunning and a terrific way to start your evening!  Sunset Sails are available on all three of our sailboats- Aquidneck , Sightsailer , and Starlight . 

Watching the sunset from the deck of one of our boats while sipping your favorite beverage and viewing spectacular sights is often the highlight of a visit to Newport!

Come aboard, sit back, and relax!  Newport’s sea breeze often starts to moderate towards sunset, so if you’re looking for a calmer and more leisurely cruise, a sunset cruise should fit the bill.

On sunset cruises, Newport’s sky often turns from a bright, sunny blue, to orange and violet, laced with red. 

Then, sailing back into the harbor, the entire waterfront is often bathed in warm, golden light, and waterfront windows are ablaze with reflections of the sun.

Of course every sail is different, and although we can’t guarantee you a fiery, red ball and green flash as the sun sinks beneath the horizon, Newport sunset cruises can be spectacular!

Where will we sail on Sunset Cruises?

Sunset cruises in Newport, RI offer magnificent sightseeing!   Your crew will raise sails (you can help if you like!) and then you’ll sail past Goat Island and into Narragansett Bay.

As you sip champagne or quaff your beer, you’ll sail past Fort Adams, get great views of the Pell Bridge, view Hammersmith Farm and see Clingstone, an iconic house on a rock. Depending on the wind and tide, we may make it past the lawn at Castle Hill, its iconic lighthouse and into Rhode Island Sound.

You’ll  see mega-yachts around the harbor as well as vintage 12 Meter America’s Cup boats docked nearby. 

Along the way, our friendly captain and crew will point out the sights and provide light, commentary.

  What’s Included on Sunset Sails?

Ticketed Sunset Cruises include champagne, beer, and water in the ticket price.  High Noon Seltzers are also available for purchase.  

*Complimentary champagne and beer are included in your ticket price, however, Sunset Cruises are not unlimited “booze cruises”.

Although we’ll serve a couple of rounds, we aim to create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere for all to enjoy. On Private charters, no drinks are provided, however you may bring your own. 

What to bring on Sunset Cruises?

Sunset cruises, even in the Summer, can be cooler on the water.  We recommend bringing a sweatshirt or light jacket and long pants in the Spring and Fall.  Blankets on board for guests to use during cool evenings.  

We offer Sunset Cruises every day throughout our season. We recommend buying tickets in advance as sunset cruises are one of our most popular cruises and frequently sell out.

See the  Schedules & Rates section for a list of departure times.
