We recently, were fortunate enough to take the late afternoon cruise on the 72 foot Schooner Madeleine from Bannister's Wharf in Newport. With an amazingly informed and friendly crew of true sailors, a small group enjoyed our memorable trip around Newport Harbor in this pupose-built, wooden hulled ship flying 2000 square feet of sail. The crew seemed to know everything... More

We sailed on a beautiful, clear, sunny day. The schooner had less than 20 people on board. Our captain, Jonathan, really knew so much about his ship and Newport Harbor. Thrilling ride, not crowded at all and a nice sunny glow after our ride!

We sailed on the Madeline for a small cruise around the bay. It was such a great afternoon. We were celebrating a birthday on board, and I can't say enough about the crew. They were just great. I would not hesitate for a minute to do this again. One of the nicest afternoons of the summer.

Experience the beauty & of Narragansett Bay & Newport Harbor with an entertaining crew. The scenery is breathtaking & being on the bay under sail is peaceful. I can't think of a better way to spend an evening.

Wonderful sail on this schooner. Polite and attentive staff. Immaculately maintained vessel. Beautiful cruise of the bay.

Took my family on this sailboat cruise (madeleine) on July 2. I loved it! The crew was wonderful....the boat is gorgeous. Thanks!

I joined our group of 7 on the sunset cruise, and really enjoyed it! The crew was great, served us complimentary champagne and beer and answered our various questions about the boat, the boats around us, and the shoreline sights. I had my camera with me and I got some really awesome pictures so it was good all around on... More
