Can anyone recommend a nice sailing cruise or sunset cruise in Newport? I%26#39;ll be up there the end of this month with my girlfriend. She mentioned she would like to do something like that. I don%26#39;t know anything about it. How much do things like that usually cost? No way I%26#39;m spending thousands just to sail. I%26#39;d like it if were just the two of us on the boat. Someone mentioned americas cup charters but they seem pricey. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, if you%26#39;re looking for a private cruise, you%26#39;re going to have to pay $$$.

The Aurora offers a Lobster Bake and Sunset Cruise on Sundays and Wednesdays:

Sightsailer, Starlight, (both more modern boats,) and the Schooner Aquidneck are run by one company:

The 10 meter charters are more hands-on than the others....set up a sort of racing experience, and as you mentioned a little more pricey.
All of the others are around $25 - $30 (a little more for the sunset ones - with free champagne and wine/beer) But look in the local weekly papers and there are usually some coupons.
Here%26#39;s also a more complete list and more links:
