Newport Transportation and Tours

Newport Rhode Island is considered by many to be the sailing capital of the world. With its refreshing ocean breezes, beautiful coastline and stunning sights, Newport offers an unparalleled sailing experience. With more types of boats departing regularly than anywhere else, a harbor tour is a must while in Newport.


What to know: Hammersmith Farm, the childhood home of Jacqueline Bouvier (Kennedy Onasis) can only be seen from the water as it is now a private home and most of the tour boats go by this site.


Best kept secret: Most of the tour boats offer a sunset tour which is slightly more expensive than the regular tours, but comes with complimentary beverages and snacks.
