I consider this place as one of the best for price, offer and atmosphere they do have. We started to use Newport Sail about three years ago. No problem at all, we always have had good time. Stuff was helpful, friendly and ready to work with us. This season started a bit rough. I experienced something similar to described by Mrs. Colleen McCann also with one of the female employee. However let’s put it clear everything was handled in professional and fair way by the supervising stuff. One small event cannot affect picture as a whole. We enjoyed our day sailing around Fort Adams. Equipment is in good condition, maintained well. New building is outstanding. Stuff is open minded and very professional. I do recommend this place.

My daughter and I have tried to make a trip to Sail Newport about once a year for the last several years. The fleet of J-22 boats have always been in pretty good condition considering all the wear and tear they get. The lines and sails are never pristine but do seem to get replaced with a reasonable level of frequency. Depending on the wind speed and direction it's typically only 5 minutes or so to leave the harbor and get out into the bay. I do wish the allowed sailing range could be extended somewhat, but I understand the challenges that could be presented by a capsized boat further away from help. The instructor staff for the annual checkout ride was a bit friendlier than the guy that we've had a couple times in the past. Yet, to be working at such a fantastic job and such a beautiful place no one really seems to be that happy about their jobs. Too bad. We still had a good time out on the water.

Sail to Prevail is a group of young people who bring those who have intellectual and physical limitations out for a sail around the Newport Bridge. Our ladies loved the entire time out on the ocean waves! My Coworker and I found the experience very uplifting and exhilarating! What a great organization! We love you, Sail to Prevail!
