What People Are Saying

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.

Sailing Charters For All Occasions

bachelor/bachelorette Sail The best place to celebrate this momentous occasion is together with friends on the water! 

DAY Sail We will sail to the mouth of the East Passage of Narragansett Bay and venture into Mackerel Cove

Team Building  

Corporate sailing is one of the best team building exercises you will ever engage in.

Similar to a corporate environment, when sailing, teammates need to constantly adapt to face-paced change.  Perfect for small teams to hone their communication skills!

Call us for pricing and additional information.

Engagement/Wedding Sail Choose the wind, sea and sun to propose to the love of your life.  Get married aboard our Sailboat, Hurrah by our ordained Captain.  Head to a romantic cove or stay in Newport Harbor for your ceremony. 

Sunset Sail Let the heat of the day drain away, all while enjoying the cool evening breeze on Narragansett Bay.

Sail of Remembrance

We can't wait to have you aboard!

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!

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.

We did the Wine and Cheese cruise and was able to take our group of 11 friends on and we had a blast!!! Last summer we did the Lobster Boil sunset cruise and it is just as fun. It’s a great excursion to try at least once a summer whether you are a local Rhody or spending your vacation in Newport!”

VIVACE Shines at the 2024 Newport Charter Yacht Show

Posted July 16, 2024 in Charter by Eileen Lopez

The annual Newport Charter Yacht Show, with its nearly four-decade history, consistently impresses as it graces Newport, Rhode Island’s iconic waterfront. This year’s event showcased 15 luxury motor and sailing yachts, ranging from mid-60 feet to over 100 feet in length. Northrop & Johnson proudly presented the stunning 102’ (31m) Alpha motor yacht VIVACE at the show. This Italian-built Spritz 102 model stands out in the market, offering an unparalleled platform for guest entertainment. VIVACE’s exceptional alfresco areas and an energetic, charter-savvy crew ensured unforgettable onboard experiences filled with fun and adventure. The Newport Charter Yacht Show is a prime opportunity for yachts to demonstrate their capabilities in delivering bespoke charter vacations to prospective charter brokers.

VIVACE was a highlight of the show, earning accolades across several competitions, including Best Overall Tablescape, 2nd Place in the Chef Competition (with Chef Monja Jacobs), 1st Place in the Crew Fender Challenge and 2nd Place in the “Stew Try Outs” Crew Challenge.

In the Chef’s Competition, chefs were given a “mystery basket” of ingredients just 24 hours before presenting to a panel of three judges. Cooking and heating were performed in the yachts’ galleys, but plating, saucing, and garnishing took place on a staging table under time constraints. Chef Monja Jacobs of VIVACE impressed the judges with her “Scallops and Scapes” dish.

VIVACE’s “Coastal Gardens” tablescape won first prize, judged by professionals from Newport Yacht Interiors. Head judge Cheryl DiGennaro praised the crew’s enthusiasm and creativity, noting their effort in sourcing and custom-decoupaging oyster shells. The table’s styling complemented the yacht’s design, creating a welcoming atmosphere for comfortable conversations with personalized details.

Monday evening’s Crew Competitions, a highlight of the social schedule, featured captains and deckhands attempting steward tasks, inflating fenders and making flower arrangements, all timed to simulate the pressures of chartering. A VIVACE crew member excelled in the fender competition, preparing a 5’ fender with an electric pump in just 54.22 seconds.

For more information on chartering the motor yacht VIVACE, please contact your preferred Northrop & Johnson charter broker.

Casco Bay Custom Charters, Portland’s premiere private boat charter company, is excited to announce a partnership with GLEAM Sailing from Newport, Rhode Island. This collaboration offers an unparalleled sailing excursion of Casco Bay aboard GLEAM, a historic Newport racing yacht.

This beautifully restored 1937 12-meter yacht has enthralled generations of sailors with her competitive spirit and beauty. Designed by renowned naval architect Clinton Crane, GLEAM was intended to be both his personal yacht, and a majestic racer serving as a trial horse for America’s Cup challengers..

According to Casco Bay Custom Charters owner Jim Gallea, “GLEAM offers a truly unique sailing experience that is distinct from other sailing offerings in Casco Bay. She’s a lively, quick boat on the water, offering a real sense of adventure and fun while maintaining a graceful elegance that evokes the golden age of wooden sailing yachts from a century ago. If you have any affinity for sailing, you can’t pass up a chance to sail aboard GLEAM.”

Casco Bay Custom Charters partnership with GLEAM Sailing is a natural fit as both companies value the restoration and preservation of classic boats, and are dedicated to creating truly special experiences on the water. For the past 10 years, Casco Bay Custom Charters has offered private sightseeing and dining excursions aboard historic Maine-built wooden boats, including Portland’s most distinctive dining experience: a 6-course dinner charter prepared and served onboard by Chef Keith Castro.

GLEAM will be making limited stops in Portland during the months of July and August between appearances in regattas along the Maine coast.

All charters aboard GLEAM are private charters that can accommodate groups of up to 13 passengers. Each sailing excursion includes captain and crew for an effortless Maine summer sail. Charters are typically 3 hours in length, assuring ample time to explore beyond Portland Harbor and experience GLEAM to her fullest.

GLEAM Sailing offers onboard catering available from local provisioners, Pepperell Provisions and Charcutemarie. Guests are allowed to bring aboard food and drinks to enjoy while on the water, if preferred. All sailing charters are customizable, and can accommodate corporate group retreats. As a family-owned local business, we frequently combine our boating experiences with other local hospitality partners and welcome the opportunity to collaborate to create your perfect Maine day.

For more information and reservations, please visit cascobaycustomcharters.com or call 207-205-5796.
