Nothing says Newport summer like a sunset sailboat cruise around Narragansett Bay. These are some of our favorite shots from our friends aboard this summer’s sails on the Schooner Aurora. If you haven’t made it out with us yet, we still have one more month of sails! Join us for September’s cruises– book a Lobster Boil or Wine & Cheese sail.
See more of the Schooner Aurora here.
Escape the bustle of downtown and experience the true essence of a Newport summer in the sailing capital of the world. Climb aboard Schooner Aurora and venture out to sea under her signature faded, Nantucket-red sails where you’ll witness breathtaking views of Newport and Jamestown as you sail around Narragansett Bay on the 101′ classic schooner.
