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.

Recent Reviews in Newport

Our sail with David was great! Even though we had light winds, we still covered a lot of ground. David is very capable and knowledgeable, and he also knows a lot about the area and the maritime region. The boat is in very good condition and very roomy. We ended up with 4 guests and were very comfortable. We expect to sail again with David in the future.

Eric and his boat were outstanding! This was a highlight of our Newport vacation. My family (wife, daughters in their 20s) went sailing for 3-4 hours. Eric pointed out lots of famous sites and told us the history of Newport harbor. He let my daughter sail most of time (she's an experienced sailor). I highly recommend Eric!

Captain Candace, Captain Don and Stephanie were an absolute delight to work with from start to finish. Capt. Candace was very easy to communicate with and worked to accommodate our age diverse group. Great directions and instructions as to how to find the boat, the boat was in pristine condition and VERY comfortable accommodations for our sail. Captain Don and Stephanie were very clear about safety first at all times, very knowledgable sailers and wonderful tour guides and historians when the wind was not working with us. We could not have asked for anything more - the boat and the crew are top notch. We hope to have the opportunity to sail with Candace and crew again. Our sailing experience was the highlight of our trip to Newport.

Six of us took a lovely sail with Dave as our captain. We sailed out to listen to some of the Newport Jazz Festival and then took a turn around the area. We had so much fun, and Dave was great! He's friendly and knowledgeable about points of interest in the area. We will definitely sail with him on the Hurrah again. Thanks Dave!

David was the best!!! His boat is beautiful, he had so much knowledge and was so great to talk to, he gave us an unforgettable experience! We’re definitely coming back annually to do more boat tours with David! We took our engagement photos on the boat, had champagne and enjoyed the beautiful weather!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of spending time on the water with Captain Ed in Newport, Rhode Island, and it was hands down the best boating experience I've ever had! From the moment we stepped on board this gorgeous Axopar boat, Captain Ed made us feel right at home with his warm and welcoming personality. Captain Ed's knowledge of the Newport waters is unparalleled. He navigated us through the beautiful coastline, pointing out all the must-see spots and sharing fascinating stories about the area's history. His expertise and confidence made us feel completely safe and at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. What truly sets Captain Ed apart is his attention to detail and dedication to providing a top-notch experience. The boat was immaculate and well-maintained, and he had everything we could possibly need for a perfect day on the water. Captain Ed went above and beyond to ensure our trip was unforgettable & the great conversation was a bonus! I can't recommend Captain Ed enough for anyone looking to rent a boat in Newport. His professionalism, friendliness, and passion for what he does are truly unmatched. If you're seeking an exceptional and memorable boating experience, look no further than Captain Ed and his beautiful Axopar!

Starlight | 34′ O’Day

Sailing with just two to six guests, sailing on Starlight is like sailing on your own private yacht.  She is the perfect boat for sailing with friends, family and special occasions.  She has been the setting for countless engagement proposals.

Starlight is a clean and well equipped O’Day 34.  She is 34 feet, comfortable and fun to sail. Her comfortable cockpit, custom stern perch seats, ample deck space and cozy cabin make her the perfect size and design for day sailing around Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay.  There is a cooler for drinks and snacks, stereo with iPod interface and blankets and jackets for cool evenings.

Pack a small picnic and come enjoy the spectacular setting as you sail through Newport Harbor, into Narragansett Bay and along the shoreline of Newport’s Ocean Drive.  Sail past beautiful seaside estates, lighthouses, historic landmarks and world famous yachts.

Duck into Brenton or Mackerel Cove for even more stunning sightseeing of yachts and seaside estates. Starlight sails the longest and furthest of any of our boats. Your friendly, knowledgeable captain will provide you with light, informative commentary.

Take the wheel and experience the thrill of sailing, receive casual instruction, or sit back, relax and take in the scenery on your charter boat rental.  Newport is home to one of the prettiest harbors in the country and is the sailing capital of the world!

Special Considerations:

Note: Due to safety considerations, no children under 6 are allowed.  Boarding and disembarking Starlight is done by taking 2-3 steps up and down a sturdy ladder, permanently attached to a seawall.  Guests need to be able to lift their leg about 16-20″ over the boat’s lifelines and hold on to the ladder to get on and off the boat. You may see the boarding ladder in Starlight’s Photos section below.

If you have balance or mobility issues, we recommend you consider a sail on Aquidneck instead.  Aquidneck is our most stable vessel and is easily boarded by a set of stairs with a handrail.

Click here for Schedules & Rates.

For more questions about bringing food and beverage please read under “Private Charters” in the response to the question on our FAQ page.

Should Starlight be sold out, consider a private charter on Sightsailer.  Sightsailer is larger and can sail with up to 13 guests, however, we do many charters on her with just 2-6 guests.  More info on Sightsailer can be found on the Sightsailer page.

“If you enjoy being on the water, with the feeling of your own private boat, you'll love this”

Sailing with just 2-6 guests, sailing on Starlight is like sailing on your own private yacht.  Pack a picnic and explore the best of Newport. Sit back and relax or enjoy casual instruction. This is fun!
