Newport, Rhode Island and the surrounding waters are a rewarding area to sail for both newcomers and advanced sailors alike. Here's a closer look at conditions in the area, as well as some of the destinations you're likely to visit.
Rhode Island is located in an area of prevailing westerlies, which can provide some surprises even for experienced sailors. Although the summer weather is typically warm and only a little breezy, daily and monthly averages for both temperatures and precipitation can vary from expectations.
The best advice: be prepared for all eventualities. The Newport area is a rewarding location to develop your bareboat sailing skills and test yourself against the local conditions and elements.
Newport is one of the world's great yachting destinations. This is one of the capitals of yachting in America, with a long history of nautical adventure and enjoyment. For true enthusiasts, this is the home of the Yacht Restoration School, the Museum of Yachting at Fort Adams, and the fabled Newport Yacht Club. These attractions make for an entertaining day exploring the history, pageantry, and drama of yachting.
The city is also home to fine food, wonderful family restaurants, and a lively bar & nightlife scene. You'll want to spend more than one night enjoying the high season options for entertainment and fun.
Jamestown is a lovely little village tucked into a scenic nook of Conanicut Island. Come ashore to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including golf, hiking, biking, and watching wildlife in the nearby sanctuary. Mackerel Cove Beach and Fort Wethergill State Park have sandy beaches, rock climbing, fishing, and scuba diving. In August, the island hosts several unique sailing events, and there are numerous dining & entertainment options at all times.
Bristol is another town with a long and storied history as a sailing mecca. Take a stroll through quaint streets and beautiful parks.

7 DAYS Sailing route
A seven-day Newport sailing excursion is filled with amazing sights and adventures, here's a peek at some of the things you can do:
This is a day for arriving, getting settled, getting acquainted with your boat, and enjoying a leisurely sail around Barrington.
Sail for Bristol, exploring scenic points in Narragansett Bay along the way. Bristol is the opposite of a crowded, hectic tourist town: the harbor is a charming and busy fishing port and the town is filled with historic attractions, great food, and fun bars. There are areas to swim and enjoy the sun.
After sailing throughout the day, anchor and visit Newport, a bustling resort town, or Jamestown, a more sedate and tranquil experience. Both have amazing restaurants and authentic New England bars and taverns.
The Beavertail Route explores an area with a scenic lighthouse, numerous historic shipwrecks, and the quaint town of Wickford. Block Island has magnificent beaches, wonderful biking and hiking trails, and scenic views. Little Compton Harbor is up the Sakonnet River, where you'll pass vineyards and beautiful small towns.
Spend the day sailing and exploring more of the Bay, with a great wind and opportunities to experience the local color and attractions.
Your last full day of sailing can be used to revisit favorite places, or discover new ones. Prudence Island has delightful coves and beaches to explore, as well as hiking and biking in an unspoiled destination.
A leisurely morning sail back home and it's time to think back on your memories of your sail Newport holiday!
7 DAYS Sailing route
Martha's Vineyard is one of the most famous and beloved island destinations in America, here's a sample of how you'll spend your seven-day yacht charter Newport vacation:

It's a brisk sail to Vineyard Haven, a focal point of island activity with lots of choices for shopping, dining, and entertainment, including the Martha's Vineyard Museum.
This small town is one of the most elegant and stately on the island, with a laid back vibe and great selection of restaurants and entertainment. It's the perfect place to unwind after a fun day of sailing.
This destination checks all the boxes: a sleepy little harbor with an amazingly mellow vibe, beautiful sandy beach, wonderful seafood market, and it's where much of the film Jaws was filmed. Menemsha has a little something for everyone and it's a favorite destination for local sailing vacations and bareboat charters.
There are so many interesting destinations in and around Narragansett Bay, it's great to take your time and sample them without being in a rush. Historic Bristol, pristine Block Island and Potter's Cove, and much more. Sail by day and celebrate by night!
