NANCY BREEN

This was the first time I did a private charter instead of a group sail on a larger boat. I do not think I will ever go back to buying tickets for a group sail.

RONALD WATANABE

We had such a wonderful time on this 2-hour sail with Captain Dave! It was the highlight of our trip to Newport! We highly recommend it!

PETE & JESS

Absolutely the best experience. Dave was hands down the most amazing captain and made the entire experience so memorable. Do yourself a favor and book a ride with McCurdy's.

Private Charters with Newport Classic Yacht Company

Newport Harbor & Surrounding Coastlines

Newport Classic Yacht Company offers private boat tours & yacht charters around Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay. Our charter yacht, Temma provides a true Rhode Island yachting experience for groups up to 6 without the crowds of regular tour boats.  See Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay the right way! We’ll cruise by Castle Hill, Clingstone, Fort Adams, Jamestown, the Newport bridge, Rose Island, many historic mansions, and the transient mega yachts. Go with a classic charter or request a special route:)

Welcome Aboard Temma, our beautiful 42ft, one of a kind, custom built commuter yacht. Built in 1928 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine by BW Rand's Boat Shop. Originally named Priscilla for the Teel Family in Boston, MA. Before Pricilla, BW Rand's Boat Shop built a Sam Crocker Design with a raised deck. BW Rand later realized that with a couple changes he could improve upon the original Sam Crocker Design. With borrowed molds, the shop spaced some sections, and opted for the long cabin top and adjusted the stern layouts. With a displacement hull, speed was never the main goal for Temma but instead designed to be stable & spacious. With her smooth styling, Temma is a perfect cruiser. Over the years multiple families have been the caretakers of this iconic New England Yacht & each have maintained her perfectly, for the next owners to continue on the legacy. Newport Classic Yacht Co. welcomes you to our private yacht endeavor, Temma.

Narragansett Bay

Here in Rhode Island we are blessed with the calm, convenient and always spectacular Narragansett Bay. The most coveted bay by all recreational boaters. Destinations include Historic Newport Harbor, Brenton Cove, Fort Adams, Castle Hill Inn, Jamestown Shoreline, the Newport Bridge, the upper bay, Potters Cover, Bristol, East Greenwich, Historic Wickford, Plum Island Lighthouse, Dutch Harbor, Oyster Farms and more.

Matt K - TripAdvisor

We have been out in Newport on a few different charter boats, but our experience on Tabasco was simply the best. The boat is a great example of a traditional New England picnic boat and Curtis and his crew were top notch. They have complimentary local drinks on board and have partnered with Bellevue Boards to let you pre-order a charcuterie board ahead of time - the perfect, classy snack on this 1.5 hours cruise. Should you be interested, they are very knowledgeable about the area and are happy to note points of interest and history along the way, or if you prefer, they will let you and you guests talk amongst yourselves instead. This is not a one-size fits all operation, and they are happy to work around your wishes. You can't visit Newport without getting out on the water, and there is no better way than Tabasco!

Recent Reviews in Newport

Our sail with David was great! Even though we had light winds, we still covered a lot of ground. David is very capable and knowledgeable, and he also knows a lot about the area and the maritime region. The boat is in very good condition and very roomy. We ended up with 4 guests and were very comfortable. We expect to sail again with David in the future.

Eric and his boat were outstanding! This was a highlight of our Newport vacation. My family (wife, daughters in their 20s) went sailing for 3-4 hours. Eric pointed out lots of famous sites and told us the history of Newport harbor. He let my daughter sail most of time (she's an experienced sailor). I highly recommend Eric!

Captain Candace, Captain Don and Stephanie were an absolute delight to work with from start to finish. Capt. Candace was very easy to communicate with and worked to accommodate our age diverse group. Great directions and instructions as to how to find the boat, the boat was in pristine condition and VERY comfortable accommodations for our sail. Captain Don and Stephanie were very clear about safety first at all times, very knowledgable sailers and wonderful tour guides and historians when the wind was not working with us. We could not have asked for anything more - the boat and the crew are top notch. We hope to have the opportunity to sail with Candace and crew again. Our sailing experience was the highlight of our trip to Newport.

Six of us took a lovely sail with Dave as our captain. We sailed out to listen to some of the Newport Jazz Festival and then took a turn around the area. We had so much fun, and Dave was great! He's friendly and knowledgeable about points of interest in the area. We will definitely sail with him on the Hurrah again. Thanks Dave!

absolutely amazing captain & crew. the sunset cruise was the highlight of our bachelorette trip and we can’t wait to go back!

David was the best!!! His boat is beautiful, he had so much knowledge and was so great to talk to, he gave us an unforgettable experience! We’re definitely coming back annually to do more boat tours with David! We took our engagement photos on the boat, had champagne and enjoyed the beautiful weather!
